LUABLE MANOR and ES PATE of NITON, nn the
Southern Coast of the Isle of Wight, the result was a Sate of
more than 40 Lots. The Assignees have been advised that
the remaining part of this unrivalled Property should be fur-
ther sub-divided ; they have adopted the suggestion, and having
set out new Lines of Road, now propose TO SUBMIT TO
PUBLIC AUCTION, at the White Lion Inn, in Nitoa, on
MONDAY, the 19th day of September, 1842, at Three o'Clock •
in the Afternoon, the unsold portion (in Lots more convenient
to the general class of purchasers),
The MANOR of NITON, and the Lands above the Cliff,
will comprise Four compact and excellent Farms, of from 50
to 350 Acres. The Lands under the Cliff, on which the new
roads have been set out, will be offered in more than F ifty
Lots, and thus an Estate, which combines picturesque scenery,
excellent bathing, situate in England's mildest clime, the place
which has long been wished for is now to be obtained. The
valetudinarian will not longer have reason to complain of the
want of residences on this, the English Madeira.
Tthose who are not familiar with the Estate, a sufficient
dirtion will be. that it includes the lino of coast from near
St. Catherine's Lighthouse to Puckaster Cove, on the southern
shore of the Isle of Wight. It may not be immaterial to add,
that good roads, very easy parochial rates, vicinity to a church,
excellent neighbourhood, good inns, and the most romantic
scenery, are amongst the many recommendations of this unique
property.
Particulars and plans may be had on application to Mr.
Francis Pittis, the auctioneer; Messrs. Hearn and Son, or

" On the subject of these accounts, showing a ba-
lance or profit of 39,336/. 18s. 2d. upon the transac-
,ions of that year, Mr. James observes :
" ' This profit for the year 30th June, 1840, to 30th
June, 1841, being much more than the average of the
previous four years, it may perhaps be as well to offer
some remarks in explanation. 'When I stated in Ja-
nuary last that the probable year's working or profit
of your Society to the 30th June, 1841, would be
equal to the average of the previous four years, I was
well aware that there were circumstances in favour of
the year above alluded to, to insure a full average of
the previous four. The interest on the surplus, 30th
June, 1840, would of itself form a large increase ; the
reduced rate of expenses of management would be in
full operation for that year, whereas it had been only
partially felt in the previous four ; and lastly; I was
sensible that the year's mortality had been most fa-
vourable, and although running against the Society
as regards the annuities and endowment contracts,
the loss upon that class of insurances would be much
overbalanced by the gain upon whole life and :liort
periods. These three matters, therefore, will fully
account for the year's profit, 30th June, 1840, to 80th
June, 1841, being more than the average of the four
years 1836 to 1840.'
" The year's profit here referred to by Mr. James
raises the surplus assets at the 30th of June, 1841, to
' 183,016/. 10s. 6d., and on laying the details of the
balance sheet before the Committee he remarks—'
have no hesitation in reporting that, in my judgment,
the several valuations and calculations forming the
items in such balance sheet may be considered as
truly made, and with perfect safety in reference to
the future. The debts and other liabilities may also
be relied upon as correct and true ; the reverse for
future management or expenses in realization of the premiums is taken with perfect safety, as regards the
probable future charges ; and upon the whole I feel
satisfied that the surplus as above set forth may be
considered a correct and safe surplus, and applicable
for division amongst the assured.'
"The Committee of Directors have the most im-
plicit reliance upon the judgment of Mr. Galloway, by
whom the several valuations of the policies and pre-
miums have been made—supported as those valuations
are by the calculations of Mr. Morgan, the Society's
Actuary—as well as upon Mr. James, by whom the
accounts have been examined and closed, and the re-
sults as above set forth drawn out ; and they
therefore no hesitation in recommending the -ueciara-
don of a bonus. In order that such declt7ration may be
made on perfect and true data.

terminated by death since that I
period.
"After
mature consideration given to the subject,
the Committee feel that the holders of this class of
are justly and fairly entitled to share in the
surplus ; and they, therefore, recommend this meet-
ing to declare a bonus accordingly—viz., 10 per cent.
on the total amount of premiums received upon all
pelicles for the whole period of life, which were in
existence on the 30th June, 1841.
44 The members of the Society will bear in mind
that, in the declaration of any bonus at this time,
when the Society has existed upwards of thirty-three
yen's, the number of years, and the great amount of
premium over which that bonus is spread, must have
the effiset of reducing the nominal per centage. The
senior members, however, will find, that their bonuses,
extending back to the date of every policy, will yield
them an advantage fully commensurate with a higher
rate of per centage, attaching to a more limited period
of time. .
" The Committee cannot close this Report without
referring to that part of their last Report ('2Bth
January, 1842) which alludes to the fact that all who
enter this Society under the age of forty-five, are ins
sured at premiums considerably lower than those
taken by mast other offices, whilst from forty-five to
sixty, this Society only gradually approaches the rates
of those offices.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—A distressing and fatal
accident occurred here this morning. Two brothers,
the sons of Mr. William Belt, of Brunswick-square,
London, went early to bathe, accompanied by a ser-
vant, near the Castle Jetty. There was much surf
on the beach from last night's gale, and either by tile
force of the tide making round the, jetty, or the re-
surge, they were carried out of their depth, and
most unfortunately tile younger brother, aged about
seventeen, and the servant, were drowned. The elder
brother, aged about 22, was rescued, and conveyed
home in a very exhausted state. The two bodies were
quickly recovered, and every means used to restore
animation but in vain. Mr. and Mrs. Belt, who are
residing in Guildford-lawn, are, with their family in
a sad state of agony at this unexpected bereavement.
The Queen, East Indiaman, for Calcutta, first
voyage, lost her fore and main topmasts off here in a
squall, last night, and is now at anchor, preparing
spare topmasts to replace the loss.
'This place continues quite full. Sir Edmund
Filmer's family have left this week, and his house is
already occupied by Sir Gregory Lewin. His Ex-
cellency Prince Esterhazy, Prince Louis Liechten-
stein, the Dowager Lady Essex, Count Joseph Maz-
zinghi, the Baroness French, Admiral Sir John and
Lady Lawford, the Baroness de Noual, .are amongst
those who continue at this favourite watering place.
The Magistrates here have acquired some notoriety
by a late cropping operation, by their goaler, of certain
comedians who were in custody, which they, on a
complaint, sanctioned. The circumstance appears to
have excited the attention of the Home-office, and
Mr. Whitworth Russell has been sent down by Sir
James Graham to investigate the case, and to report
upon it.

months ago I met with a very severe accident, myself.
dome
having
cated and fractured my ancle severely. From th
tender-
ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk,
the
erellmt
tinned very much swollen and adematous, and I suffered
dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which
extended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, and to the
arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and
my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no
purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con-
sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston—then to adopt sea-
bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill,
who applied his Embrocation, and; to my great astonishment,
I had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next
morning I came down stairs without my crutches, and was
able to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am
now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex-
teesive medical practice in the county of Stafford, I know of
no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy.
In adding my testimony to 111 r. Feaver's Embrocation, I am ac-
tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere
desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf-
ferers. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice
against everything in the shape of quackery, I should be the
last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know
nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug.

Society met at their office on Friday last, to receive
the Report of the Directors, and to take into con-
sideration their recommendation on the propriety of
declaring a bonus on all policies affected previous to
June, 1841.
E. T. BOOTH, Esq., having taken the chair,
S. BIGNOLD, Esq., the Secretary, read the ad-,
vertisement which convened the meeting.
The CHAIRMAN then rose and said, that he had
much pleasure in meeting so large a number of the
Proprietors on the present occasion ; he would state
to the meeting that some circumstances, which it had
been out of their power to control, had been the
reason of their not having been called together some-
what earlier, but be could assure them the time had
been well employed in making the accounts more
complete. He was happy to think a few circum-
stances had occurred which had created a more
friendly feeling than had existed among them on
former occasions, and the prosperity of the establish-
ment had greatly increased.—(Cheers.) He hoped
after the Report had been read, that all angry feeling,
which had previously existed against this office,
would cease—that whatever might have been the
feelings, or however high might have been the words
used against the office on any former occasion, they
would now be buried in oblivion—(Hear, hear)—and
that every one of them would endeavour, by every
possible means in their, power, to promote the interest
of the establishment.—(Cheers.) In conformity with
a resolution passed in January last, they had now
placed before them a full and clear statement of the
affairs of the Company, with the view of declaring
what shall be the amount of the bonus. He would
now call on the Secretary to read the Report, after
which he would be glad to answer any question that
might be addressed to him.—(Cheers.)
The SECRETARY, having read the minutes of the
former meeting, then read the following Report :
" The Committee of Directors have much satisfac-
tion on meeting the assured this day, enabled as they
uow are to lay before them the result of the transac-
tions of the Society for the year, from June, 1840, to
June, 1841, with.the balance-sheet at the latter period.
" ley regret that some little delay has taken place
in calling the present meeting, which must be attri-
bided to the anxious desire of all concerned that the
accounts should be fully examined, and the calcula-
tions made on the most accurate data ; but they have,
now every confidence in stating that these ob'ects
have been accomplished, and it affords them very high'
gratification to acquaint the Members, that the sur-
plus resulting from the operations of the Society
during the year from Jane, 1840, to June, 1841, has
considerably exceeded the average of the previous
four years.--(Cheers.)
"The accounts for that year have been carefully
investigated by Mr. James, who reports that he has
pursued the same course of examination which he
had previously done. Upon this subject he states :
" The policies and premiums have been ascertained
with the same care. .The valuation of those policies
and premiums have been made by Mr. Galloway upon
the same basis ; and the same test has been applied to
those several valuations as heretofore adopted, and
fully explained in my Report of December last. The
debts and liabilities have been most carefully ascer-
tained.'
