The most rational motives to Lzfe Assurance are found in
the plan adopted by this Society ; viz. joined to a secure

affords succour to the Assured himself (proportioned to pre-
vious payments) i the event of unforeseen reverses.

CEMENT.

TO ARCHITECTS, BUILDERS, and Others.
he PATENT STUCCO PAINT CEMENT. Its
extraordinary qualities are rapidly becoming well known and
appreciated. It will adhere to any substance or surface—no
Wet or Damp or Frost can have any effect on it—Time
hargens and improves it—a House covered with it becomes
encased in stone. The cost is trifling—the invention is a
fortune to Builders, and to all who are interested in House
Property, old or new.
The Sole Agents for the Patentees are Messrs. MANN

SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
and injurious metals called Nickel and German Silver
supplanted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless
ALBATA PLATE. C. WATSON (late ALDERMAN)
41 and 42, Barbican, aided by a person of science in the amal-
gation of metals, has succeeded in bringing to public notice the
most beautiful article ever yet offered : possessing all the rich-
ness of Silver in appearance—with its durability and hardness
—with its perfect sweetness in use—undergoing, as it does, a
chemical process, by which all that is nauseous in mixedmetals is
entirely extracted—resist'ng all acids, may be cleaned as Silver,
and is manufactured into every article for the Table and Side-
board.

C. Watson begs the Public will understand that' this metal
'is peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from
Gold, than his metal is from all others ; the Public will there-
fore have no diff►culty in discovering the animus which directs
the virulent attacks made against him, by a party who is daliy
suffering from the unparalleled success which has marked the
progress of ins New Plate since its introduction. C. W.,
unlike this party, courts comparison, feeling confident that the
result will establish its pre-eminence.

THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.
CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis),
POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery
appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex-
clusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist
upon the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver
under the guiles of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," &c,
Ece., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an
eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying eur material
so that acids do not affect it ; it is now so well known and
appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its
uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver,
can only be had at our warehouses. It is the same through-
out, and can be engraved and made in all the various articles
that are in silver, from which it can only he told by reference
to the stamp. Fiddle Threaded King's
