in the centre, that they trust an attecti,iii to this, and the
difference of the type, which is unlike all letter-press, will
enable purchasers at once to detect the imposition.

TO T. TAYLOR. Esq. No. 9, New Bridge-street, London
HoNouttEo SIR,

yBEG leave to inform you, that ever since the
AL year 179 e, I had beemillicted with the Liles Venerea;
which, from its obstinately resisting every course of medicine
prescribe,: by the most eminent of the faculty here, and on-
lergoing severalsevere courses of salivation, and twice dis-
chargod from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to
be of the most inveterate nature. In the spring of last year
my disorder had got to such a head, as nearly to put a period
Mn my existence—l had a large ulcer on the crown of my head,
,ne on each arm, and my legs were broke out in a frightful
manner; my right was dreadfully painful, and had been in a
of ulceration for the last seven years; my left had alst.,
twe large nodes on it, was very much discolour.l4 and gave
me such excruciating pain, particularly when warns in bed,
as nearly to deprive use of rest; in this lamentable state, i
was recommended by Mr..T. Thompson, (who received so
great a cure by them .here), to take your Leake,'s Patent Pills,
which I began to do ern the 2gth o. in the conrse.of a
fortnight I began to receive benefit -in liAle more than a

month the ulcers on my head Ind arms were soundly healed—
soon atter, the sores on my legs healed also; leAving, how-
eVer, considerablediseolouration in the skin, and p:iin iit the
Moue of the left, which, by the blessing of God, an*? a little
longer perseverance .in your invaluable Medicine, su`•4sided ;
the nodes disfersing, the shin regaining its natural hue, and
the nocturnal pains gradually going Off.—l thus became, by,
your liberal advice and (medicine, perfectly free from all my
ioimer complaints—have recovered my former spirits a nd
strength, and am become jolly and fat, in which state having
continued many months, to the astonishment of all who knew
me, I am at a loss in what terms to express my gratitude, but
beg you, for time good of other suffering mortals, to make
tb,s my case as public as possible, as I shall on every occa-
sion ; in so doing you will greatly oblige,
Sir, your grateful, obedient, very humble servant,

NORWICH UNION \ FIRE-OFFICE.

Yesterday, pursuant to advertisement, a Meet-
ing %vas held, at the Geoige and Vulture, Corn-
hill, for the purpose of tecei.•ing the Report of
the Committee appointed at the last iteeting. to
take into consideration the affairs of the Norwich
Union Fire-Office.

Mr. Alderman THORP being called to the
Chair, ,the Report was read. It stated, that in
consequence of the Resolutions entered int, at the
.last Meeting, the Acting Committee, in compli-
ance with these Resolutions, had written to the
Duke of Argyle, and various other Noblemen and
Gentlemen, for the purpose of being informed,
whether they had any contront over, or were in
possession any funds belonging to, the Nor-
wic!l Union Instil:ince-Office, or whether they
considered themselves responsible for any claims
upon that Office.
A great number of letterslrom different NOble-
men and Gentlemen were then dead. That from
the Duke of Argyle referred to'the Directors of
the Society for the information reqiiired. It staled
'hat there were channels throutgii which be should
'eel himself called upon to communicate what he
knew upon the subject ; but that he did not'con-
sider it necessary to do so, in consequence of the
application from the Committee. Time Directors
upon this were requested to give answers to the
questions put to the Duke ot Argyle,- but they
refused to answer them, saying that they could
not recognize any authority in the Committee for
entering upon such an investigation.
The Duke of Somerset, in his answer, referred
also to the Board of Directors for information.—
The Earls ot Surrey and Roseherry said that they
were in possession of no funds connected with
the establishment ; that they -did not consider
themselves responsible for any demands upon it,
and that they wire totally unacquainted with its
affairs.
Lord Viscount Barnard stated, in his answer
to
,the Committee, that his connexion with the
Norwich Union Office was merely nominal, that

be was neither io possession of nor had any con-

trout over-its fonds, nor did he consider bitriself in
sorry degree responsible. The answers of Lord
Viscount Althorpe, Sir George Armytage, and
William Colville, Esq. were to the same effect.—
Such were the communications from the Trustees.
A letter was then read from Mark Saunders,
Esq. of Birmingham, stating that in that district
for' which he was one of the Tr ustees, the Nor..
wich Insurance CoMpanY bad funds to the
amount of 25,0001. liable to any claims upon
theta, and that their affairs in that quartet went
on prosperously, all demands being speedily and
fairly adjusted.
The next document produced was a communi-
cation from the Directors at Norwich to the
Committee appointed by the first Meeting at the
George and Vulture. They acknowledged the re-
ceipt of the Resolutions entered into by that
Meeting, but stated, that in consequence of the
hostile feelings evinced by them, they must de-
cline any further correspondence, stating, at the
same time, their desite to have all claims speedily
adj,rsted.. In -his letter the Directors referred to

tile Meeting held at the York Hotel, ;and enclosed
copy as well of the Resolutions entered into
there as of those previously adopted by them-
selves.

The 'Report went on to state, that the acting
Committee, appointed at the George and
Vul-
ture, had written to the local Committees, acting
under the Norwich Insurance Office, and that
they received answers only from very few of them,
which stated, that all claims upon the Office were
speedily
,adjusted, but that they were in posses-
sion of no hinds.

A variety of letters were then read from Tho•
alas Dear, John Thacke►y, James Kinn►aird, Mr.
Plimi►tun, of F;eet•market, Brian Macderniot,

William Newman, WllliAn Emerson, ,James Na-
pleston, William Beckford, and others, complain-
ing that their claims were not speedily nor fairly
adjusted.

The Report concluded by observing, that the
Committee had no doubt of the existence of large
funds, but dila they wished to have a clear and
satistrictory statement of facts, and that nothing
could .reinstate the Norwich Insurance. Company
in the good opinion of the public but a full and
free investigation into the nature and extent of
their funds, and also into the mode of manage-
ment.

Mr.M7IGG moved that the Report be received.
He denied that any publication upon the subject,
in any shape, had issued from the acting Com-
mittee iridium the concurrence of the members,
and of the Chairman, Mr. Alderman Thorp. The
Committee consisted of 17, out of which only
three had Claims upon the Norwich Insurance
Company. One of the three was Mr. Greaves,
the Secretary, and the two others seldom attend-
ed. Every thing done in the Committee was car-
ried unanimously.
Mr. KEMBLE said, be was a Member'of the other
Committee appointed by the Meeting which took

place at the York Hotel, but he was not their or-
gan. They had :not yet made any jeport to the
general body of insurers, because they were not
fully prepared to do so. He should have no
jection to second the motion now made, were it not

that he felt convinced of the necessity of further de-
lay and more accurate investigation. Some facts con-
tained in the Report were, perhaps, well-founded.
There was a probability that others were exagge-
rated, and it would neither be just nor proper to
let them go forth to the Public in such a state. The
first act of the Committee to which he belonged
was to invite a communication with the other, by
a letter to their Chairman, but it was declined.
They then :desired, by advertisement, that any
