celebrated
TAPESTR Y CARPETS,

MADE BY

RICHARD WHYTCOCK & CO.,
(CARPET MANUFACTURERS TO TAE QUEEN.)
These celebrated Tapestry Carpets ha hitherto been
ira
prin-
cipally confined to the localities of the etropolises of Eng-
land and Scotland, until he made angements with the
Patentees for the SOLE SALE of their Goods for this part
of England ; that arrangement has excited dealers to pretend
that they sell the same Goods. Some attempt to detract
from their value, and others represent what is called Florence
for these celebrated Carpets. As such statements may in-
jure the reputation of the Goods, he begs to invite Manufac-
turers, Merchants, the Trade, and whoever may feel disposed
to examine these Carpets, that they may be convinced of
their superiority in design, in material, in durability, and in
good value.
All orders executed on same terms as by the Patentees.

into use, is now enabled to reduce the price from 70s. per

than Hemp Rope.

" City of Dublin Steam-Packet Company,
" Office, 24, Water-street, Liverpool, April 21, 1841.
" GENTLEMEN,—In reply to your letter of this morning,
I beg to state, as a proof of my opinion of the Wire Rope
for Standing Rigging, that I have recently put it on board
of this Company's new Steamer the Erin-yo-Brayh, and
which I would not have done if I had the slightest doubt of
its superiority over Hemp Cordage. The Standing Rigging
of the Prince, Princess, Queen Victoria, Oriental, and
Great Liverpool, is in the same good condition as when
first put on board those Steamers ; and, as regards the two
first-named Vessels, it has not been necessary to set the
Shrouds up since they were hauled taut two years since. I
find the Wire Rope answers admirably for Ridge Ropes for
awnings, as it becomes like a bar of iron when well set up,
and does not give to the lashings.
" I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,
" JAMES C. SHAW.
" Messrs. Robertson & Co., Goree-piazzas, Liverpool,
Agents for A. Smith's Patent Wire Ropes."

" GENTLEMEN,-At the request of the Patentee, Mr.
Smith, I beg to state for his information, that the Patent
Wire Rigging fitted to the iron ship John Garrott', of 711.
tons, under my command, after being a voyage from England
to Bombay and back to this port, during which period it was
tried by the most severe weather, remains in a most excel-
lent condition ; so much so, that I do not consider it neces-
sary to have it taken down for refitting until the Ship has
performed another voyage, should it even then be requisite

to do so.
• " I have much pleasure in adding my testimony to its
great utility, and decided superiority over Hempen Cordage,
being much lighter, smaller, stronger, and cheaper than the
latter, and, I have no hesitation in saying, from what I have
experienced, much more durable. The John Garrow's
Lower Rigging is only 3i inch Patent Wire Rope; whereas,
had it been Hemp, 8} inch would have been required.

SCOTTISH PROVIDENT INSTITUTION,
ONSTITUTEC on the Principle of MUTUAL ASSU
kJ RANCE, with the LOWEST RATES consistent witl
SECURITY, and providing for an EQUITABLE DIVI
SION of the WHOLE PROFITS among the ASSURED
EDINBURGH, 14, St. Andrew's-square.
OFFICES { GLASGOW. 141, Buchanan-street.
The LEADING PRINCIPLES of this Office are,

Ist. To charge the LOWEST PREMIUMS, consistent
with perfect security ; and,
2d. To divide the WHOLE SURPL S among those
Members from whose longer payments t y have arisen, no
share being given to Policies of only ew years' standing,
on which there must be a loss, and of a profit. This is
evidently more equitable, and at the same time more advan-
tageous for good lives, than the system of division generally
adopted.
The PRACTICAL EFFECT of these two principles is,
that by the first—namely, the diminution of the Premiums—
the greatest present benefit is secured to all ; while by the
second—the peculiar mode of division of the surplus—those
who survive the average duration of life will derive the
greatest future contingent advantages; a combination pre-
sented by no other office._ -

The Premiums may be made to cease entirely, after a li-
mited number of payments. Those payable for 21 years only
will be found nearly the same as most Offices require for the
whole of life, however long.

Offices, Prospectuses explanatory of the Principles, Forms
of Proposals, and every information, may be had at the office
