The Directors hereby give notice to Members whose Pre-
miums fall due on the sth of January next, that the same must
be paid within thirty days from that date.
The Premiums are payable Yearly, Half-yearly, or Quarterly,
on the sth of January, sth of April, sth of July, and sth of
October, either of which several days constitutes the commence-
ment of the year to MEMBERS. Persons, therefore, desirous
of entering the Society, AS MEMBERS, on the sth of
April next, should appear at the Office on or before that day.
So various are the plans now before the public for effecting
Assurance on Life, it may, at first sight, seem difficult to
make choice between them. As, however, all prudent offices
make a considerably higher charge in the -annual premium
than experience has hitherto shown to be necessary, but differ
in the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the following
classification may be made
Ist. Proprietary Offices, where all the surplus from pre-
miums and other profits is divided exclusively amongst the
Share or Stockholders.

2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions
between Share and Stockholders and the assured.

3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole
of the profit is equitably distributed amongst t:.e assured only.
The Metropolitan, which is of the last class, was established
in 1835, and although no paid agents for town or country have
at any time been employed, nor any expensive system of adver-
tising resorted to, yet its advantages have been so well appre.
elated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed
37,5001.

In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's af-
fairs, the Annual Premiums of Members of Five years' standing
have been reduced Forty-two and a Half per cent.
A plata of the Society, with tables of rates, may be obtained
on application at the Office.

The sheetings and table cloths require particular mince,
being so large a portion of the stock. Linen sheetings, real
Barnsley, will be sold, three yards wide, at 10s. 6d. the pair,
common qualities being reduced as low as ss. and ss. sd. the
pair, double width.
Table-cloths will be sold at unheard-of prices; there are
some very curious cloths and napkins, with emblematic de-
signs, that must be viewed as a euriosity, nevertheless on this
eccasion will be sold at the price of an inferior article. 430
cloths, full three yards long, superb damask, that cost 30s. to
355. each, will be all sold, each 12s. 6d. Forty cloths, full five

of the very choicest description.
Most persons may remember the name this house once had,
as being the cheapest house in the trade, ladies often visiting
Whitechapel from distant parts of the town, to make their pur-
chases of linens more particularly ; these goods are now selling
at one-half the bankrupts' cost price, consequently the saving
must be obvious, and worthy of the attention of heads of
families, tavern-keepers, the trade, &c.
Brooks and Co. apologise for the confusion on the premises,
as this enormous quantity of goods are scarcely sorted for the
first few days.-106, High-street, i3orough, facing the end of

NICKEL INK ; or JOHNSTONE'S PER-
MANENT WRITING FLUID, under the patronage
of the Academy of Sciences, Paris.
W. PEACOCK ( by appointment) sole Agent for the above
incomparable Fluid, respectfully invites the attention of the
commercial public, and the literary and fashionable circles,
:o some of the paramount properties of the Nickel Ink. It
stands unrivalled for its clearness and facility in writing, being
free from that gelatinous deposit which clogs and corrodes
the metallic pen. As a preventive of fraud in banking and
other commercial transactions, it ptesents an important gua-
rantee, as it is indestructible (without injuring the surface of
the papers by any of the chemical agents which destroy the
common inks. The colour of the Nickel Ink is a Scheeles
green, but it dries a vivid and permanent black—a striking con-
trast to the rusty black of other inks and writing fluids.

• TURKEY..
CONSTANTINOPLE, 4ARCII 7.—A note identique has
been addressed to the Porte by the Representatives of
the three PoWers, England, France, and Russia, recom-
mending the withdrawal of the Turkish troaps fron.
Larissa and other places contiguous to the Greek fron-
tier. In the present critical state of relations of the two
countries, the, menacing attitude and warlike muster on
either side might lead to a collision, which would render
abortive the pacific labours of diplomacy at Constanti-
nople. Instructions will be; this day transmitted by the
French packet steamer to the Ministers of the three
Powers at Athens' in order that, from similar represen-
tations, the Greek Government may also effect a retro-
I grade movement of its troops in the same quarter. As
far as the Porte is concerned, the most satisfactory as.
surances have been given that the wishes of its allies
will be promptly and scrupulously attended to. The
precautions of the corps dtploinatique; which would,
under all circumstances,_be entitled to the praise of c
prudent foresight, are the more seasonable, perhaps,
that certain difficulties, which have unexpectedly arisen,
are again said to throw a cloud over the negotiations
on this question. The basis so discreetly established for
them by Sir Stratford Canning at Athens, was insidi-
ously disturbed, after his departure from thence, and the
pretensions which it is now generally understood M.
Mavrocordato is prepared to put forward here, are but
little in accordance with the conciliatory professions
made to our Ambassador, and on the strength of which
he willin.gly::eharged himself with the olive branch to
the Pont,. bf. Mavrocordato presented his credentials
to the Grauftsyixier three days ago, but has not yet been
-mill itc,quiience with ;:te_Sultan:4llur Majesty's
steansipacket, left Constantinople for Bey-
rout' yesterday morning. She had been detained here
for sotre days, ..novably because Sir Stratford Canning
expected that the Porte would come to some definitive
arrangement with respect to the Government of the Le-
banon, in which case she would have been at its disposal
or the expediting of the business. Contrary to antici-
pation, however, nothing has to this day been decided,
the affair is still hi abeyancereknd it would seem that the
Turks are but temporizing, in hopes, perhaps, that the
position of Omar Paella is not so eesperate as it was re-
presented to be, and that they may still escape the hu-
miliation of deposing him. More than one successor has,
neverilieless, been publicly assigned to him, and the
chances, I balieve, are in favour of Emir Emin, the sea
of Emir Beschir.

Rumours have been for some time current with respect
to the instability and approaching downfall of the Minis-
try here ; but I cannot ascertain they have any foun-
dation, beyond' the growing conviction felt in all quarters
that their continuance in power is incompatible with the
preservation of the empire.
The Porte is said to be contemplating a new con-
scription in Asia Minor and Romelia. The troops al-
ready assembled in various quarters abundantly suffice
for all the purposes of good government, and fresh
levies can only be intended to countenance oppression,
or to assume a menacing attitude towards foreign Powers.
They are, moreover, for the most part, ill-paid and ill-
provided, and great mortality prevails among them both
in the capital and the provinces ; more than 500 perished
in the hospitals of Constantinople last month. The com-
plaint of which they mostly die is said to be nostaglia,
and the victims are chiefly Egyptians, to whom their
exile from their more genial climate is altogether insup-
portable.
