tki Itt,Gentlemen,-1 feel a pleasure in informing you of the good e-
V 4114„ resulting from .l'arr's life Pills' in this place and the surround-
044.villages. It is to me quite astonishing, as there is scarcely a day
} V% over without some one iefotming ins of the good effeets they
lAt e received from their use. When I wrote to you last Febrnary
44,)113, first supply, there was not one to be purchased in the town. I
ff iii Applied to by different individuals to send for a supply, for they
1 ;t1,,,; they were sure that they wend sell ; and to show the r cond.
1111,e, several individuals deposited their money f.ir several boxes.
Woman, who had been confined to her bed the grea'er part of
sinter, sent her money for some, which caused me to commence
N 4 Ikk,,_htli them—the woman was completely cured by taking two
.4. ,r and a half at Is. lid. per box. A man has been cured
~,,iik. bilious and liver compl int, of five years' standing; he was re-
ain ost to a skeleton, hut is now as robust and in as good health
. 44e.e ever was in his life. There are numbers of cases that I could
114.1-4,,iott, if it was-necessary, but the foregoing are sufficient to prove
t,l,[lleacy of . Old Parr's' simple remedy. If I were to inform you
i, lei.," the cures that have been pLrformed by th. rn, I should have to
Otii,`,l' to you every week, which I think is unnecessary. Any person

The Second Plan (Table 2) is to meet the views and in.
terests of persons who, in making a provision for their families,
wish to participate in the periodical division of profits by the
payment of a lower rate of premium than has hitherto been
charged by bonus offices, viz. :

For the convenience of those who assure upon th;,s 'fable
one-half the premium may remain unpaid for the first seven
years, at an interest of 5 per cent., which may continue to the
death of the party, or be paid off at his convenience, or with :he
sum assured be discontinued without any claim from the office.
To professional men and others whose incomes are progressive,
and in loan transactions where the debt is gradually reduced,
this principle of charging one-half the premium for the first
seven years will be found to be particularly advantageous to the
Assured.

Assurances may be effected every day with the least possible
trouble to the party.

PASSION AND PRINCIPLE, • THE NEW .NOVEI„
EDITED BY CArT. ORAMIER. —The gallantry of our naval
officers is proverbial all over the world, and in boils senses of
the phrase ,• but we do not remember that it has ever before
been signalised by one of them acting the part of literary cha-
peron to a lady of ton, which we understand to be the case
with the writer of the new novel entitled " Passion and Prin-
ciple, edited by Captain Chamier." It has been the critical
fashion of late to complairtof the difficulty of apportioning the
amount of merit, or the reverse, between authors and their
editors; bnt, unaccustomed as Captain Chamier has been to
anatomise men and women of certain grade, and distinguished,
as all know him to be, on the deck of a man-of-war, the bou-
doirs and salons of May Fair, and.the " passions " and " prin-
ciples" of their inmates, are of too peculiar a character, and
require for their delineation too close and constant au observer,
to leave any suspicion of the writer and the editor of " Paision
and Principle" being one and the same individual. Neverthe-
less, the reading world owe an addititional obligation to Capt.
Chamier for the guarantee which his established name offers
that the work hearing it. will be worthy that marked attention
which it will certainly excite.
As two firenim were pitying together a few
days since, in the corridors of the upper story of the bar-
racks of their corps in the Rue de la Pair, one of them in
endeavouring to escape from his comrade attempted to slide
doWn the top rail of the balustrade of the well-itairease, but
losing his balance, and falling to a depth of 14 or 15 yards, he
fractured his skull on the pavement, and expired in a very few
minutes.
