NITY FIRE INSURANCE ASSOCIATION

—Capital 4'1,000,000 sterling, the whole fully subscribed
for by upwards of five thousand shareholders, whose names
and addresses were published in the Times and other morning
papers, on Saturday, 24th September, 1853. The success that
has attended this association, from its formation, is unprece-
dented. It is supported by the most powerful and numerous

constituency existing—a fact that, of itself, must render its
solid advancement a certainty, while the principles on which
it is established are such as to command the support of the
public generally. With respect to rates, it is not intended
to underbid other offices, or to diminish the full margin of
profits, without which neither the assured nor the assurers
would be safe ; but to return the profits, not to a few capi-
talists who might be the exclusive holders of the property of
this association, but to those numerous and known parties
from whom the profits have been actually derived ; not to
bestow occasional bonuses at will, whether large or small,
but to repay as a debt to the insurers two-thirds of all sur-
plus, and one-third to the shareholders. The manner in
which this mutual advantage meets with the support of the
public may be best explained by the fact that, in the past
two weeks ending 4th October, 1853, 792 insurances have been
received for property to the extent of -*'582,145, being at the
rate of issuing nineteen thousand policies insuring nearly
fourteen millions sterling per annum, while the total number
of new insurances completed in the past twelvemonths is 5392,
insuring property to the amount of £3,082,145.

GREAT FIRE AT THE GUTTA
PERCHA COMPANY'S WORKS, AND DEFEATED

BURGLARIES

THOMAS MILNER and SON have sincere pleasure in
communicating to their Friends and the Public the following
new endorsements to the claims of their HOLDFAST and
FIRE•RESISTING SAFES. The Fire at the Gutta Percha
Company's Works was of the most intense character, as may
well be conceived from the nature of its food. Gutta Percha,
Oil, Naptha, reducing the buildings to a pile of gutted red-hot
walls. The Sac- ' t • t-`- the'

e has been most severely tried, as letter
night its contents out of the Furnace without

a singe upon theth.
" Gutta Percha Company's Works,
" City-road, London, Bth June, 1853.
" Sias,—We consider it only our duty to inform you of the
entire preservation of all the books and papers*contained in
the large safe you recently supplied us with, although exposed
Sunday last to a fire which destroyed the larger part of

our works. This is the more remarkable, as the inienie heat
has in many parts melted the outside of the safe. ;
" We are of opinion that so successful a vindication of the
merits of your invention cannot, on public grounds, be too
leave you at liberty to use

generally known ; and we therefore
this letter in any way you may wish
" We are, Sirs. your obedient servants,
"THE GUTTA PERCHA COMPANY
" HENRY FORD BARCLAY
"To Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son,
47A, Moorgate-street, City, London."
* Including £5,000 worth of Cash and Bills.

"Scotland-road Mills, Liverpool, 3t1.1 June, 1853,

"GENTLEMEN,—Some time back Irwas indebted to your
strong Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe for the protection of a
large amount of cash, against the violent and persevering
attempts of burglars at my steam-mills, in Woodstock-street,
and I have now the pleasure of informing you that I have
lately found the same impregnable security in the one I had
last from you for my provision warehouse in Brownlow• hill.
The floor was all trodden over around the safe, as if the thieves
had been at it for many hours, after which they got it out into
the back yard, and as it could not be picked or broken open,
they then filled the key-hole with gunpowder, thinking to gain
admission by explosion ; but in which they were again foiled.

"I feel it due to your invaluable safeguards to give you this
testimonial, and shall strongly recommend them to all my
friends. Please send me another of the same size for my house.
"1 am, Gentlemen, yours respectfully,
"THOMAS LEICESTER.
" Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son."

their extraordinary eTcrtcy has astonished thousands.

The Hair Restored, Baldness and Greyness Prevented,
By BEETHAM'S CAPILLARY FLUID.—The truly wonder-
ful efficacy of this unique preparation is the theme of admira-
tion wherever introduced. It effectually prevents the hair
falling off or turning grey, promotes its growth on places that
have been bald for years, strengthens weak and fine hair, and
gradually restores its natural colour, without the use of dye.
It cleanses the head from scurf, and imparts a beautiful
transparent, glossy appearance, and keeps it in any desired
form. In inducing the growth of whiskers, eyebrows, mus-
tachios, its effect is surprising.—Bottles 2s. 6d., double sizes
4s. 6d., 711. 6d. equal to four small, Ils. to six small.
Rase and Comfort in Walking.
BEETHAM'S CORN AND BUNION PLASTER.--Thia
most important discovery causes the greatest delight and
astonishment wherever it is introduced. Its effect, to use the
words of numerous correspondents, is truly miraculous; the
most inveterate Corns, Bunions, and those unsightly and
painful enlargements of the GREAT TOE JOINTS, which disfi-
gure the beautiful symmetry of the foot, have been imme-
diately relieved from all pain and uneasiness, and in a short
time entirely dispersed after twenty years' suffering. Unex-
ceptionable references are allowed to be given to individuals
in almost every part of the United Kingdom.—Sold in Packets,
Is. ; Boxes, 2s. 6d. ; which will be sent free to any part of the

BEETHAM'S VEGETAIfLE.EgTRACT is the only article
ever discovered which does not cause pain or injury to the
Skin. Numerous worthless articles are introduced, contain.
ing the most deadly poisons, and unfit to be applied to the
human body; many of them remove the skin, and produce
dangerous wounds. The effect of this Extract is unerring,
and gives the greatest satisfaction.—Packets, 55., sent free
for 65., by Mr. Beetham, Cheltenham.

FOREIGN

INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.—The town of Compiegne is rendered exceed-
ingly gay by the presence of the Imperial pair. The
guests at the palace are very numerous. Upwards of
sixty apartments are occupied by them. A grand battue
in the forest, a stag hunt, and a racket match in the
court attached to the palace, were the amusements of
three successive days. The dramatic mompany of the
Gymnase have been playing before the Imperial party, in
a temporary theatre erected in one of the salons. Lord
Cowley left Paris on Sunday to join the Imperial party _ at
Compiegne
disposition.

Lady Cowley remaining in consequence of in-
The Princess Mathilde had also gone to

Coinpiegne. Cardinal Wiseman is now staying in Paris.
A rumour was current early in the week, and has not
been contradicted, that another plot had been discovered,
and 140 arrests made on Sunday night. The truth ap-
pears to be that extensive political arrests were made, but
that the number stated is an exaggeration. Accounts
have been received of the arrival at Jerusalem of the first
caravan of French Pilgrims, Qn the 12th ult. As soon as
they perceived the city they alighted from their horses,
trated Iv' ',ul prayed

prostra. ~iiemselves, and prayed fervently. aey were
all clothed in white, and, as they entered the city by the
gate at Jaffa, musket shots were fired in their honour. It
is said that a French frigate is expected at Jaffa to pro-

tect the pilgrims. The Moniteur of Thursday contains a
statement of the Minister of Marine, from which it would
appear that the State maintains at this moment 161 sea-
going vessels, manned by 33,600 sailors. There are two
squadrons of fourteen men-of-war, without reckoning
frigates and corvettes. There are five screw steam-
ers ready, and nine will be finished by the end
of the year. There are six more on the stocks.
It is stated at the Prussian Embassy in Paris, that the
king has expressed to the Courts of France and England
his disapprobation of any measure tending to disturb the
equilibrium of Europe. Failing in his endeavour to conci-
liate, he will remain neutral. The trial of 32 persons con-
cerned in the " conspiracy of the Opera Comique " has been
postponed to the 7th of next month before the Court of
Assizes of Paris. Twenty-seven of the accused are in
custody. The indictment charges them with conspiring
to assassinate the Emperor, and to destroy the form of
Government.

SPAIN.—The Duchess of Montpensier is suffering from
indisposition. One account states her malady to be scar-
latina. Another says it is measles. The Queen of Spain,
in commemoration of her birth day, the 10th instant, has
ordered three screw-frigates, each carrying thirty-one
guns, to be constructed ; and to be called the Berenguela,
Petrolina, and Blanca, in memory of the three queens
from whom her Majesty derives the crowns of Castille,
Arragon, and Narvare.
_ .

ITlLi.—Disturbances have broken out at Turin, in
consequence of the dearness of bread. They were
speedily suppressed, and a telegraphic despatch on Thurs-
day announced that there was not the least further dan-
ger to public tranquillity. The late extraordinary rains
have made great havoc in several parts of Italy. A dili-
gence travelling from Nice was overwhelmed in a moun-
tain torrent, and two Swiss ladies, with a child, were
drowned.

AusTalA.—The Viennese papers continue to hold a
pacific tone ; and the most faithful to the Imperial Court
argue the most strongly from the recently decreed reduc-
tions in the army, that the intentions of Austria are
peaceful. In the meantime we are informed that no ar-
rangements are on foot for carrying into execution the
Imperial decree ; but that, on the contrary, the generals
commanding in Lombardy, Hungary, and Grotia have
all demanded reinforcements, on account of the popu-
lar feeling of discontent and disaffection in those countries.
RUSSlA.—Letters from St. Petersburg, of the 10th, an-
nounce that the Emperor Nicholas has just adopted some
very important warlike measures. It is well known that
the military forces of Russia comprise two principal divi-
sions—the army destined for grand operations in Europe,
and the troops having a local destination. It is positively
stated that the former of these two armies, called the
army of Europe, which is now quartered in the western
part of the empire, and the principal corps of which
occupy Russian-Poland, and to which the other corps form
the reserve, is called into active service. The Emperor of
Russia arrived at St. Petersburg on the 13th from Berlin.
Despatches from St. Petersburg state that the prepara-
tions for war are being proceeded with rapidly. The fleet
in the harbour of Cronstadt, which had laid up for the
winter, is ordered to prepare for sea with all possible de-
spatch, and to proceed at once to Revel.
TURKEY.—lntelligence from Constantinople to the 6th
instant states that, on the day following, the Sultan's
manifesto was to be read in all the mosques. It was ex-
pected that hostilities would commence on the 25th. The
son of Redschid Pasha, who left for Schumla on the 4th,
has, besides the summons to Prince Gortschakoff, de-
spatches instructing Omer Pacha what steps to take in
case the Russians refuse to evacuate the Principalities.
Similar instructions have been sent to the commander of
the army in Asia. The determination of the government
was received by the whole Turkish nation with enthu-
siasm. The army is eager for war and well disciplined.
There are 130,000 regulars in Europe, and 70,000 in Asia.
Fortifications are being carried on on a large scale, espe-
cially at Schumla. The Turkish government has been
obliged to commence the issue of paper money. From
Galatz we have news to the 7th instant. Omer Pacha
has declared that he will leave the Danube free to
neutral vessels until the 25th of this month. All
the German officers who have been imparting military
instructions to the Turks are re-called. The military
cordon on the northern frontier will not be augmented.
Accounts have been received from Constantinople, via
Trieste, dated the 10th, stating that the Sultan had made
a formal demand to the Ambassadors of England and
France to summon the allied fleets to the Bosphorus.
The ambassadors had accordingly done so. The latest
accounts from Bucharest represent the plight of the Rus-
sian army as most pitiable. On the other hand, the
Turks are healthy and in good condition. The army of
Omer Pacha, who has with him 40,000 regulars in a most
efficient state of discipline, and 35,000 of the redifs, is
animated by the strongest national feelings, but not with
religious fanaticism ; and the stories of outrages com-
mitted by the Turkish soldiery on the Christian popula-
tion are utterly untrue, being Russian fabrications. In
the reply of Prince Gortschakoff to Omer Pacha, he is
thus reported to have delivered himself :—" My master is
not at war with Turkey, but I have orders not to leave
the Principalities 'until the Porte shall have given to the
Emperor the moral satisfaction he demands. When this
point shall have been obtained, I will evacuate the Prin-
cipalities immediately, whatever the time or the season.
If I am attacked by the Turkish army, I will confine my-
self to the defensive." Letters from Constantinople in-
timate that a collision between the Turks and Russians in
Asia is likely to take place before any engagements on a
larger scale on the Danube. The monk Anthinos has
been appointed to the Greek Patriarchate, at Constanti-
nople, in room of Germans. We hear from the Danube
that Omer Pacha has organized a regiment of Ponton-
niers, who were making rapid progress every day. He
has nearly completed all the materiel for throwing a
bridge acros the river, but it is not expected that he will
make any movement until next spring. Prince Gorts-
chakoff, it is said, has ordered 3,000 huts to be erected on
the left bank of the Danube, and the Wallachian Govern-
ment has to pay 30,000 ducats for their construction. A
telegraphic despatch from Vienna says According to
advices from Constantinople, of the 15th inst., hostilities
were positively expected to commence in about ten days
from that date. The Sultan having applied for the pre-
sence of the combined fleets before Constantinople, and
Lord Stratford and M. de la Cour having assented to his
request, the fleets were momentarily expected.
GIBRALTAB.—By the steam-ship Ripon, arrived at
Southampton, we have accounts from Gibraltar to the 15th
instant. The British schooner Thrifty put in there with
damaged bowsprit on the Bth instant. The steamer
Euxine, six days from Southampton, with the outward
India mail of the 4th instant, arrived there on the 10th,
en route .to Malta and Gibraltar. The screw steamer
Balbec, 14 days from Kertch, 10 from Constantinople, and
five from, Malta, touched at Gibraltar on the 12th instant,
on her way to Liverpool. The screw steamer Calpe, six
days from Liverpool, arrived on the 12th, and cleared for
Genoa and Leghorn. The screw steamer Genova, four
days from Marseilles, also arrived, on the 13th instant,
bound to Liverpool. The steamer Sultan, with the out-
ward bound Peninsula mails of the 7th instant, from
Southampton, arrived on the 14th instant, and, having
been placed in quarantine, was to leave on the 15th, at
midnight, for Cadiz, Lisbon, Oporto, Vigo, and Southamp-
ton. The screw steamer Frankfort, from Leghorn and
Palermo, arrived on the 13th instant, and proceeded to
Liverpool. Her Majesty's steam-sloop iresuvius was in
the Bay. The steamer Elbe arrived'on the 15th from
Lisbon and Cadiz, and left the same evening for Malaga
and Marseilles. The French war steamer Petrel was
lying at Gibraltar, ,having come over from Algeciras, on
the 15th. The American ship Julia Howard, for Phila-
delphia, and the French ship Le Flandre, for Sydney,
sailed on the 15th.

THE PENINSULA.—By the steam-ship Sultan; arrived.
at Southampton on Sunday, we have dates from Gibral-
tar the 16th; Cadiz, the 17th, Lisbon, the 19th; and
Vigo, the 20th instant. This steamer was detained in
quarantine three days at Gibraltar, and, after obtaining a
clean bill of health, was admitted to free pratique at Lis-
bon, but on arrival at Vigo (homeward) a quarantine of
three days was imposed. The greatest annoyance is given
to these steamers at the Spanish ports, where the so-called
sanitary arrangements cause great pecuniary benefits to
the authorities, arising from the gross impositions which
are practised. H.M. steam-frigate Odin, Captain Scott,
was the only foreign vessel of war in the Tagus. The ship
Warrior left Lisbon under sail, on the 15th, for Liverpool,
being declared unfit to proceed to Australia. The Mary,
Captain Millard, from Liverpool for California, put into
Lisbon for repairs on the 16th. On the 18th the Rattler
steamer arrived from Liverpool, having been off Oporto-bar,
whence she was ordered to Lisbon, in consequence of the
bill of health of the Portuguese Consul, stating the exist-
encee
g German emigrants at an hospital,
th
Liverpool being otherwise free. It
portof cahnodletraowanmoofn
was expected that the Rattler would be admitted to
pratique, and return to Oporto in a couple of days, when
she would have completed eight days from Liverpool,
voyage and quarantine observation included. The Water-
witch, belonging to the same line as the Rattler, had pre-
viously been very badly treated at Oporto, and the English
Minister at Lisbon had supported the agent's claim for
losses consequent upon her having been illegally sent to
Lisbon, whence-she was only able to return to Oporto on
the 15th. The Times' correspondent was assured, when the
Sultan left Lisbon, that Liverpool steamers and their pas-
sengers would,with bias, of health similar to the Rattler's, be
placed on the same footing (eight days' voyage and obser-
vation) as the Peninsular steamers from Southampton.
Lisbon exchanges at • three months : London, 54k, with
few transactions, in consequence of the scarcity of money
and bills, short dates being preferred since the increased
rate of interest in England. On the continent paper was
scarce, and the quotations 532 on Paris; Amsterdam, 43;
Hamburg, 48t, and Genoa, 530.

Triie
tain Bowen, reached Portsmouth on Sunday, having been
unable to make Plymouth on account of the heavy S.W.
gales and thick weather, being under sail alone, and an
accident having happened to her air pumps when abreast
of Gibraltar, on the 13th instant. Lieutenant Peirs, the
Admiralty agent in charge of the mails, died on the pas-
sage home. Rear-Admiral Bruce, in his flag-ship, the
Penelope, was on the southern part of the station on the
3rd of September. The Polyphemus, 6, steamsloop, was
off Lagos. The Volcano, 6, steamsloop, Commander
Coote, was ordered down to Cape Coast, The Britoraart,
