October 18, 1853.
At a Meeting of the Directors of the Unity Fire Insurance
Association, held at th- Chief Offices, 40, Pall Mall, on
Friday, the 7th instant, it was resolved unanimously that the
following Propositions be recommended to the Proprietors :

apportioned among them, so that each existing Share-
holder shall be allotted and receive two of such New
Shares of 41 each, in lieu of, and exchange for, every
existing or original Share of 42 each held by him or
her.
111. That the moneys paid by the Company by the several
holders of the existing or original 500,000 Shares of 42
each in respect of the deposit of ss. per Share paid or
payable upon such shares, shall be taken into account
and allowed to them respectively in full payment and
discharge of the price or deposit of 2s. 6d. per Share to

tively, on their respectively executing the Company's

In accordance with the above Resolution, Notice is hereby
Given, that an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Pro-
prietors of this Association will be holden at the Chief Offices,
40, Pall Mall, London, on Tuesday, the Bth day of November,
1858, at Eleven for Twelve o'clock at Noon precisely, for the
purpose of considering the same.
By order of the Board,

"CITY FIRE INSURANCE ASSOCIATION.
Capital .el,ofio,ooo 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, 94th 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,
bat 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 advantge 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 twelve months is 5392,
insuring property to the amount of 11,082,145.

SPECIAL NOTICE.—UNITY FIRE INSU-
RANCE ASSOCIATION, Chief Offices, 40, Pall-mall,
London.—The Board of Directors beg to intimate to their
Shareholders that they are fully aware of the malicious pro-
ceedings of interested parties who are engaged in sending
cheap prints, containing unfounded attacks on this Institu-
tion, through the post and in other ways, to their connexions.
With these parties this disreputable course is a business that
is transacted for the sake of profit, as the slightest considera-
tion will plainly show. The Directors have to express regret
at the circumstance that rival offices should, by means of
their agents and others, lend their sanction and patronage to
such a line of conduct, which, when thoroughly traced and
exposed to the public. must receive unmitigated censure. In
reply to the communications that have been received on this
subject, the Board of Directors have to announce that a
statement of facts is being prepared which will plainly show
the malice, gross untruths, and perverted statements, that
are being wilfully distributed by other Fire Offices, in order
to attempt to detract from the great and unprecedented suc-
cess that has attended this Institution from its commence-
ment down to the present day. In a few days a copy will be
despatched to each Shareholder, and in the meantime the
Directors warn all parties engaged in the dissemination of
these aspersions, that they will be dealt with according to law.

BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.—
The following extracts from Testimonials are proofs of
the great efficacy of this Medicine. That from Garrett Foster
Gill, Esq., 157, New Bond-st., London, concludes by saying :
" Whenever I feel any symptoms of the disease approach-
ing, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is
so valuable that, were it not that the days of magic have
ceased, I should certainly. attribute the relief I obtain to that
cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health lots not in
any degree suffered; but, on the contrary, I believe the
tendency of Blair's Pills is towards its improvement."
" Twelve years ago," writes Mr. Blake, of Kingscliffe,
Northamptonshire, " I became afflicted with rheumatic gout,
and I procured the best advice possible, but without deriving
benefit; and the doctors recommended me to go to the
Stamford Infirmary, where I continued twelve weeks, and
left it without obtaining any benefit, and all my hope of relief
had vanished. This hopeless state of things continued until
a friend advised me to try Blair's Pills. I lost and b
tie
in sending to Mr. Mortlock, of Stamford, for a box ; and by
the time I had taken that quantity I got rid of one crutch. I
then sent for another box, which enabled me to throw away the
other; and thank God I have never since bad such an attack."
Mr. William Courtney, of Barton Stacey, Hants, says--",I
had resort to your Pills, and within two hours I was quite
easy. The use of these Pills ought really to be known all
over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that suffers
horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has

been your Pill

And you have countless hoards of weeth ;
What though the world—all, all was thine,
If you but want the blessing, Health.
Dr. DE ROOS' PILULE VITAt, or VEGETABLE LIFI
PILLS. A universal Restorative for both Sexes and all Ages_
concocted solely from the VEGETABLE kingdom; they may
be administered to the youngest Child, or to the most delicate
Invalid, by merely regulating the dose according to the age
and strength of the person. They remove all Disorders and
Pains in the Stomach and Bowels, as Costiveness, Spasms,
Loss of Appetite, Sick Headache, Fulness after Meals, Indi-
gestion Liver Complaints, Inactivity of the Bowels, Listless-
ness, Heat, Pain, and Jaundiced Appearance ; and while they
act thus salutarily? they must of necessity increase the
strength of the Patient. Headache, Giddiness, Singing in the
Ears, Fluttering of the Sight, and other Heavy Drowsy Sensa-
tions,—the forerunners of many fatal diseases,—as Apoplexy,
Paralytic Strokes, Epilepsy, &c., are effectually warded off by
a few doses of these Pills. They also produce sound refresh-
ing Sleep, a keen Appetite, and possess extraordinary efficacy
in invigorating the system, and imparting a pleasing serenity
of mind. They are unequalled as a Family Medicine; in few
instances, where occasionally employed in Families and
Schools, will other assistance be needed.
For Females they are truly excellent, removing Headaches,
Depression of Spirits, Dizziness of Sight, Nervousness, Dim-
ples, Sallowness, and giving a healthy juvenile bloom to the
Complexion. Ladies, however delicate, will find them parti-
cularly beneficial both before and after confinement. For
Elderly People they are the most comfortable Medicine that
can be taken.

this would be the case generally, if peoVe were not so much

Melton Mowbray : " Having read your advertisement, I felt
assured your Pills would be of use to some of my poorer
neighbours. I have had 12 boxes, and they have derived
great benefit from taking them. I shall continue to recom-
mend your valuable Pills to all my friends."— Mr. Edwin
Highley, 4, Mount-street, Halifax : " I find your Pilulm Vitae
a very pleasant medicine in removing headache."—Maent-
wrog Tan-y-Bwlch, North Wales : " Mr. Warner's compli-
ments' to Dr. De Roos, and he finds no medicine do him so
much good as his Pilulre Vitae."
Persons going Abroad, Captains, and others, cannot store
more important articles of health than the above, which, by
regulating the Stomach and Bowels, and tranquillizing the
Nervous System, will prevent those fatal diseases so prevalent
abroad ; as also Sea Sickness and other complaints incidental
to long voyages and irregular living. No Emigrant's Chest
can be properly furnished without them, for when far removed
from medical aid, they will find in these Pills a never-failing
restorative.

Dr. DE ROOS' Pills, have attempted to foist upon the Pur-
