affords succour to the Assured himself (proportioned to pre-

The proprietors have made arrangements that this
Magazine shall in future contain a larger number of Notices
of Books than any other. Having unusual advantages for ob-
taining all the publications issued, they have determined to
establish an impartial Register, where the bock-buyer will find
not cnly the Title, but an account of the aim and purport of
the work, and a fair statement of its execution and value. The
machinery necessary to bring such a Bibliographical Review
into full operation must occupy some time, but they trust, with
the aid of their extensive means,
ultimately to give an
account of every book published in the United Kingdom.
This can, however, only be gradually accomplished. A
portion, entitled " Shakesperiana," will in future be
dedicated to information relative to Shakspeare and the
Old Dramatists and Poets, and this portion will be
contributed to by some of the first literary antiqua-
rians, it is biped it will prove a very agreeable ad-
dition. Every means will be taken to give serviceable and
entertaining matter, so as to afford, more particularly to the
country reader, such an half-crown's worth of monthly reading
as shall enable him to keep up with the progress of Literature
and Art. Notices of the Drama, Music, and the Fine Arts,
will be given, and a variety of other information, which will
render it valuable as a register and record, as well as an enter-
taining miscellany. To the admirers and professors of the Fine
Arts it is particularly recommended, as every endeavour will be
made to render it an organ for the propagation of enlightened
and sound principles of art, and ultimately a record of all the
pictures exhibited in the same manner as of the books published.

IMPORTANT AND SALUTARY IMPROVEMENTS
have been introduced into the practice of Life Assurance by
this Company, and the following are sena; of its distinguishing
and important features, which have been introduced after
mature deliberation. They will be mast conveniently pointed
out by referring to Policies, as divided into two great Classes
—FAMILY PROVISION POLICIES, and MONEY
TRANSACTION POLICIES.
FAMILY PROVISION POLICIES.-- In the well-
founded belief that Life Assurance business is profitable, per-
sons making provisions for their families and contemplating a
long duration of time between the date of the Policy and the
claim to arise under it, generally prefer Assurances which may
carry with them a right to participate in the profits to bo re-
alised by the Company during the currency of their Policies.
By the Deed of Constitution of this Company, the participa-
ting Assured are entitled to the Whole of the Mutual Profits, as
if they had been Assured in a purely Mutual Society ; avid
they have, at the same time, the security' not only of the funds
of the Company, arising from the accumulated premiums, but
also the proprietary funds and subscribed capital of the Com-
pany. To the Shareholders are alloted ONLY those profits
which are realised by the investment of their own paid capital,
and from the excess of the premiums derived from the non-
participating Assurances. This mode of Division and Profits,
so advantageous to the Assured of the Participating Class, is
adopted only by this Company.
MONEY TRANSACTION POL acquain-
tance with the records of the Courts of Law and Equity, proves
that considerable changes were required in the praetice and
rules of Life Offices, to render this class of Policies
valid and unimpeachable documents of security, which no
foreseen circumstances or future accide.ats could invalidate.
This Company has endeavoured, and they think successfully,
to render their Policies as indefeasibt?, and negotiable secu-
rities as possible, consistently with a due "egard to the safety of
the contracting parties; and to effect this object, the Company
has introduced the follotving clause into their Deed of Settle-
ment :
Clause 78.—" That every Policy issued by the Company
shall be indefeasible and indisputable, and the fact of the
issuing of the same shall be conclusive evidence of its validity,
and it shall not be lawful for the Company to delay payment
of the money assured thereby, on the ground of any error, mis-
take, or omission, however important, made by or on the part
of the person or persons effecting the same, and that on the
contrary, the amount receivable under the same shall be paid
at the time stipulated by the Policy, to the person entitled
thereto, as if no such error, mistake, or omission had been made
or discovered, unless the Policy shall have been obtained by
fraudulent misrepresentation.

In order to provide against the defeat of a Policy in the
hands of a Creditor, by the Debtor, whose Life is Assured,
leaving the country, and going beyond the prescribed
the Company grant what they term WHOLE WORLD PO-
LICIES, whereby, on condition of receiving an extra premium,
varying in amount according to the circumstances of the case,
but fixed and determined at the time issuing the Policy,
the Debtor, on whose Life an Assuranca has been effected, is
entitled to go to, or reside in any part of the world, without in-
validating the Assurance ; by which means tie Creditor's
claim is rendered certain.

INTEREST IN POLICIES.—The ordinary rule is, that
if a Creditor be paid bis debt before the policy becomes a
claim, he loses the benefit of his Policy, and the premiums
paid become forfeited—this Company repudiates all such un-
fair advantages.
To enable a party to effect an Assurance at the LEAST
POSSIBLE EXPENSE, and to entitle him to discontinue it
at a less sacrifice than by any other plan, a seven years' Half-
premium system has been introduced; and, upon comparing
the following scale with any other which has been devised for
reducing present payments, it will be seen how much more
economically a loan tran.action can be fortified by this kind
of policy than by any other. The Hal-premium system pos-
sesses a further advantage over temporary Assurances, or those
for a Term of Years, from the Assured having the option of
continuing, for Life the Policy which he may have procured for
a mere temporary purpose.

SODA WATER.

ROUGIISEDGE and SUMMERS have hitherto relied on
the discernment of the public to discover and appreciate
the superior quality of the iErated Water produced by
their manufactory, and they have scorned to have re-
course to any tricks. In the present day some persons
c9nsider it requisite to make use of puffs and quackery
in order to extend the sale of their own productions by
detracting from the merits of rival establishments. R.
and S. have such strong grounds of reliance on the supe-
riority of their own soda-water and lemonade, founded
on the recommendation of the most eminent of the
faculty, on the results of the most searching chemical
analyses, and the extensive and still increasing demand
for them by the public, both at home and abroad,
that they have hitherto treated the insinuations
of quackery alluded to with the contempt they
deserve. But if these indirect insinuations are
still to be obtruded on the public, R. and S. feel
themselves justified in offering those explanations that
may enable the public to judge for themselves. If R. and
S. have placed the name of Schweppe upon their bottles,
it was never to mislead the public as to connexion with
that firm, but for the purpose of announcing a legitimate
fact, and always subordinate to their own. Without im-
puting undue credit to the name of Schweppe, they have
simply stated that they came from the house of Schweppe
and Co.,—an undoubted fact, or doubtless it would have
been denied. For five and twenty years, during the very
period that the waters sold by Schweppe gave to that
name all the celebrity it ever obtained, Mr. Summers
was the engineer and manufacturer of the waters sold
by that house in London, Derby, and Bristol. It is
many years since any person, having the slightest
connexion with the name or family of the late Mr.
Schweppe, has been connected with any house in the
trade: In the year 1834, the proprietor of the busi-
ness carried on under the name of Schwcppe and Co.
sold his interest to persons with whom R. and S.
declined to remain : they preferred employing their in-
dustry and practical knowledge in establishing a business
for their own mutual profit. Whether the waters since
manufactured by the present firm of Schweppe and Co.
retain the quality which acquired for that house all its
celebrity, and S. decline to give an opinion ;_ but, in
justice to themselves, they do, with the most perfect con-
fidence and good faith, say that—highly as some ma-
nufacturers seem to estimate the bottles which bear
their name (expensive an item as bottles are), and diffi-
cult as it is to prevent retail tradesmen from returning
wrong ones—there is no bottle bearing any other than
their own, however celebrated, to which Roughsedge and
Summers would wish to add the reputation to be derived
from filling them with waters of their own manufactory.
ROUGIISEDGE and SUMMERS only desire such patronage
as may be deserved from the 2Erated 'Waters produced
at their own manlifactory, and sold under the labels of
their own name.-37, Bridge-street, Bristol.

INIAssANIELLo.—The new historical Romance under
this title, edited by Horace Smith, Esq., author of
"Brambletye House," affords another incontestible proof
of the great veue and i itcrest of this truly popular
mode of treating great historical subjects. Like the
excellent romance of " Oliver Cromwell " (also pro-
duced under the able editorship of Mr. Horace Smith)
all the leading details of "Massaniello " are strictly
true to the best historical authorities on the subject ; at
the same time that the partially dramatic character of
the leading scenes and incidents give a life-like effect
to the whole, which the dry and formal trammels of
history for the most part preclude. Thus, in reading
this novel, an indispensable portion of historical know-
ledge is gained, through the medium of a narrative that
has all the excitement and interest of a skilfully-con-
strueted fiction.

DEAFNESS.—Sound Magnifiers, and Invisible
Operative Voice Conductors, to enable persons at an advanced

seven shilling piece, and when in the cavity of the ears, they
are not in the least perceptible nor more uncomfortable than
having a small piece of fine wool in its place ; and although they
are so extremely smal yet they enable those afflicted with ex-
treme deafness to hear in every respect equal to those of most
acute hearing.—From the late Henry Cowper, Esq., of Tewen

street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King William.

they enable me to hear persons in company and at a place of wor.

which I have derived, I have recommended many persons to you,
and their report is similar to mine—most favourable. The Spec.

IMPORTANT TO ALL THOSE WLIO EXPECT TO HE'
RIVE BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—Schweppe's
Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only
throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised
world, that any cnconium on its merits might appear super-
fluous; but as since its original introduction, upwards of half
a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or
less claims to public patronage, J. S. and Co. take the liberty
of reminding their friends and the public that the above Cele-
brated Water continues to be manufactured en the largest
scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es-
tablishment, 51, Berners-street, London; and also at their
three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby ;
and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at
most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian
Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom. The
just reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent de-
mand for t, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them
of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against
which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public.
The deception referred to is that of passing off a spurious
article for " Schweppe's," by selling it in Schweppe's marked
bottles. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the infe-
rior water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the
same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously
palmed on the public for the genuine—the reputation of the
latter is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a
certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its
legitimate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe
and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label over
the cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment
in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, with-
out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer with
pride to the fact that they constantly supply the Royal Palaces
of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the
three kingdoms ; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less
constant on the continent and in other parts of the world.
Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the Ea-t
and West Indies and our numerous Colonies are continually
transmitting orders received from t heir respective agents and
correspondents, and highly gratifying is the testimony
Schweppe and Co. are in the habit of receiving from gentle-
men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them by their
soda Water when met with in tropical climates, and of the
high condition in which it is generally found. The Water
ordered for foreign countries is manufactured with an express
reference to its destination, and it is well known that no other
can equally well endure the variations of climate. Schweppe's
Lemonade is an elegant preparation of more recent intro-
duction, but from its refreshing and wholesome properties is
rapidly getting into extensive reputation. It is art effervescing
draught of most agreeable flavour, and made of the best mate-
rials, without regard to cost. Physicians and medical men
constantly recommend it in cases of fever, &c., nor is it less de-
sirable as an article of luxury. Every genuine bottle will
have a yellow lable on its side, with the name and address of
the firm. Schwenpe and Co. are the largest importers of the
German Seltzer 'Water, which they receive direct from the
springs, in quarts and pints, and which they offer to the public
in the original packages. N.B.—Export orders for all climates
executed on the shortest notice. •

- The education of captains of merchant vessels is, as
the rule, something to this effect. The youth intended
for that sovvice acquires at sc me of the commercial acade-
mies what Aavigation is taught, the theoretical rudiments
of his art,, and, at the age of 12 or 14, is
put to sea with or without being bound lip_
t irentiee. He immediately begins a practical educa-
tion; he assists in all the is or.c of the ship, learns to
stow the cargo, to go al _ift to trim the sails, to steer,
&c., and, at the same time. he learns to keep the ship's
reckoning. Whatever practical knowledge the master
and the mates have, he may gradually acquire. After
I. one or two voyages, depending on the length of time and
0 the influence the youngster has with the shipowner,
'together with the character which his captain
sand the mates give him, he is appointed a second
a late. After another voyage he is promote.( to be chief
n late; and, after a practical education of five or .six
yd airs, or more, according to circumstances, lie is en-
` tn. sted with :he command of a ship.
Instead of there being no examination, he is through-
out the whole period of his noviciate undergoing a very
rigid and close examination. Day by day is he with the
n caster and mates—day by day is he exposed to the jea-
-1 li 'us observations of rivals—day by day are all his so-
ti ens watched and noted, and his character and fitness
1 lc a. command, including not only his mere nautical abilt-
tl4 's, but his moral qualities, are known to a number of
pet suns well qualified to judge.
it ut the oe ncrs of ships, not the shipmates of the young
aspic, ant, appoint captains or mates, and they are not
goes! • „judges of their qualifications. In all cases not.
very otlen, however, the owners of ships are also the
captains-, Pr they are retired captains. All ship-owner
may, at tiw same time, by inquiry, ascertain the quali-
ties of the 7Wing men to whom they wish or desire to give
ships, and we bea..,:ve that no ship-owner places a vessel
under the commas of a man without first ascertaining
to some extent that lie is worthy to be entrusted with

1 the important charge.
Sometimes, no doubt, the ship-owner may be de-
eseived. From anxiety to provide fur a son or a relation,
he may place in the command of a ship, one who is not fit
foe the place ; but this is the exception, and the rule is
for the ship-owner to select pele3ons brought up as we
have descr;bed, who are well qualified to command his
ships. If he commit errors from partiality, the service
to which Captain FITZROY belongs shows, by numerous
examples, that Eoards and examination are no protec-
tion against the appointment of very inefficient officer,.
The ship-owner may, we think, be relied on to exercise
a sound judgment, because his property is at stake, his
income, which depends oil freight, is endangered, and
merci.auts will not freight a ship badly officered. He is
liable, .also, to pay damages caused by the unskilfulness
of his esytains ; and, in the majority of cases, therefore,
the ship-owner has strong motives for making diligent
inquiries int..) the abilities of ti.ose persons he employs ;
and for empletoving only those who have proved them-
selves qualified. ln fact, a practical daily examination
actually takes place of all candidates to command ships,
and it rests with the owners, as it will rest atter the
Board of Examiners are established, to employ whom
they please.
The present mode of examination recommends itself
to us by two considerations : it accordswith the practices
of men in other business, and em.perience has proved that
it answers tolerably well. Merchants, manufacturers,
farmers, shopkeepers, attorneys, &c., are all brought up
on : & similar principle, and launched in life under simi-
lar auspices. There are no Boards to examine
whother a young man is fit to take charge of a
counting-house, to preside over a factory, to look
aft tr a farm, to manage a shop, or to . practise
as an attorney. The real practical education 'of
men in all the great businesses of life (and we will not
ex. elude those professions the members of which are
ob: iged to undergo an examination) is obtained in the
cot, rating-house, or shop, or on the farm, and it is the
daily examination of their conduct which inspires their
parents, masters, or friends, with confidence in them,
an 3 h 'ads to placing them at the head of establishments.
Thn great scheme of practical instruction, without any
Boa rds, has produced merchants, manufacturers, and
fern iers, as skilful as are to be found on .•'.the face
of the globe. Will Captain FITZROY' say that
the practical education of merchant ',, :::eaptains
has 'lot answered eqaally well ? Where . will he
find their superiors ? It seems bordering4is e;ross
()Assn rdity now to say, when our steamers .onlk44e ha ye
crossed the Atlantic—when our merchant'iliir ha, -

that we must substitute for it the systeurof Fraimis thought
and has been very unsuccessful. There is;stesi admit„
1.
i one exovtion to the superiority lie claim fualle .tler-
' chans mrptains. They are in some points eariiis' sed by
the Americans. The Tom Collins of -Nantucket ha-ve
almost driven our ships from the • Southern whale,
fishery, but we have never heard that there aro Boards.
asf Examiners for the captains of American whalers, or
t:iat they are trained and appointed in a manner very
elifierent from our own.
i. We may hereafter, if necessary, enter more into
det:sil ; we content ourselves now with asserting that
cs'aistain FITZROY'S whole scheme proceads from a 'Rib-
aivraliension of the facts of the case, and from a confi-
dent sr in Boards and examinations which is not; warranted
by everience. _ Mr. PEARCE, a ship-owner, thus speaks
lot'llent : _

A .cfeigL•t offers for one of our vessels, requiring dispatch, and
a master " nted ; two offer,—one certified, but a man of most
uest"ionaL4e„character ; the other uncertified, but of most ex-
el", ehat...,t,.r. What is to be done? The vessel cannot
s.el proceeds; the captain gets drunk, loses
his reckoning, thott
clear Castam_hcose with the latter : we are compelled to take
the other. The v.

i,ask, work evil or good? Shall it be said
p.'
lost. Does the Bill,
"
that the examiners have .been imposed on? Why, this is the
very condemnation of the ill, that whilst it allows good
conduct, integrity, and sobriet;." to be indispensable, the ex-
aminers it appoints can know nob. tog whatever of these essen-
tials but by certificates, which may ,be true or false; and of the
truth or falsehood of which they have, in the vast majority of
cases, no means of judging.
In truth, Captain FITZROY'S Boards am at best but
ascertain the existence of nautical skill, ainl must leave
all the moral qualities of the cant& tes—by far
the most important—to be learnt the ship-
owners, as at present. Captain FITZR WS scheme,
therefore, is a piece of legislative delusion, such
as afflicts us clay by day. The plague of our time—more
destructive than the pestilence of the twelfth cantury—
is the interference of man with man by means of laws.
There is nothing, however wise, skilful, and holy,
which can now escape the restrictions of igno-
rance. If a shipowner may not sail his ship as he
likes, why should a farmer be allowed to cultivate
his farm without giving proof of his ability
to the Quarter Sessions? Every day we hear of
negligent and unskilful farmers ; era they also to un-
dergo an examination, and take out certificates ? Yes-
terday we noticed a gentleman, in a public paper, de-
manding that captains and stewards of river steam-
boats have plates and numbers like cads and drivers of
omnibuses. Some petty annoyance is experienced
and forthwith the Legislature is appealed to to rept:
late steam-vessels like hackney coaches. Where
and when is this pestiferous meddling of one Mall with
the concerns of another to stop ? How long is fright-
ened or timid ignorance to give laws to knowledge? We
will not pander to this mischievous meddling spirit; and
on general principles, as well as for the particular reasons
we have urged, we shall resist Captain FITZROY'S Bill,
and every such scheme for substituting general legislative
rules in the management of the ordinary business of life
for living and active individual discretion.

COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY iNIAGA2INE, EDITED BY
THOMAS HOOD, ESQ.—The editor and publisher of this
favourite periodical, seem determined that it shall take
the lead of all its rivals. In the Number for August,
we have articles by the following well-known writers :
The Editor ; John Poole, Esq., the author of " Paul
Pry ;" Mrs. Trollope ; Leman 13iitncliard, Esq. ; Peter
Priggins ; Captain Medwin ; and the Medical Student.
" The Grimsby Ghost," and " An Undertaker," by the
Editor, are both in Mr. Hood's unequalled vv in of comi-
cality ; and the reader will derive nearly as much amuse-
ment from " The Chemist's First Murder," by Leman
Blanchard. "'rho Widow Barnaby " goes a-head fa-
mously at New Orleans ; and this account of her trans-
atlantic adventures, will certainly rank among the best
sketches Mrs. Trollop° has hitherto given to the world.
" Twenty-three Minutes past Two, by John Poole, Esq.,
is.. a laughable narration of an incident " founded on
f tct," the hero being a member of the famous Pangrow-
-1 'an Club. "The Five Incumbents." the first of a scriee
of five papers by Peter Priggins, details in a touching
style, interspersed with this writer's facetious peculiari-
ties, the story of the Vicar of Cle
in the reminiscences of a Medical arstream. " Oxen-
ford Grange'; is another of those remarkable p
Student, .IL,ag,veaes
attracted, so much attention. " The Two Skeleutcollisl
catchieo-like
ptaaltehibeys
Coafpittasin readersl‘led"ln and‘rill" dTehepelyFoeuxr-
cTete
Phases, or the Duke of Orleans," is an article which the
death '
of this noble young Prince will cause to be eagerly
perused. The Number contains other papers of great
interest, not the least attractive which which will
. !mon,
be found, " T 1 ieFreaks of Philosophy," consisting of
curious opinions respecting
the morality, politics, and
religion of beasts and birds.
CLAYTON.—The fancy weaving trade in this popu-
lous district has within the last fortnight experienced consider-
able improvement. The extensive works of Messrs. Wood and
Co., and Messrs. Nortons, have set to work a great number o
weavers.— Leeds Journal.
