SCOTTISH PROVIDENT INSTITUTION,

(iONSTITUTEE on the Principle of MUTUAL ASSU-
I.) RANCE, with the LOWEST RATES consistent with
SECURITY, and providing for an EQUITABLE DIVI-
SION of the WHOLE PROFITS among the ASSURED.
OFFICES { EDINBURGH, 14, St. Andrew's-square.
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 SURPLUS among those
Members from whose longer payments they have arisen, no
share being given to Policies of only a few years' standing,
on which there must be a loss, and not 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. _

PARISIAN CORSETS,

199, REGENT-STREET, LONDON.
my RS. DAWSON begs to return her most grateful ac-
1t knowledgments to the Ladies of Liverpool and its vi-
cinity, for the extensive patronage with which she has been
favoured during the last seven years, and in doing so she
trusts she may be permitted to advert to the decided supe-
riority of her

CORSETS

in conferring flexibility and its consequent grace on the form,
which, added to the simplicity of their construction, (being
without the numerous seams so generally found in the com-
mon Corset,) has long rendered them extensively patronised
in the first circles. It might, therefore, be superfluous to
enlarge upon their acknowledged merits ; but to Ladies who
have not yet made trial of them it may be requisite to observe
that they combine, in an eminent degree, entire exemption
from pressure, with that support so necessary to render the
figure at once unembarrassed and graceful. To Ladies of
delicate constitution, in some cases attended with irregular
conformation, they have been pronounced by the most emi-
nent of the faculty as invaluable. The Corsets are manu-
factured by the first London Workmen, and of the best
English and French material ; in the latter Mrs. Dawson
flatters herself they will be found, in point of durability,
greatly superior to those made in Paris, aud, to meet the
wishes of Ladies, she has determined on selling the Single
Coutie and Basin Corsets at Parisian Prices.
N.B.—The Paris Wove Corsets are also kept in the usual
sizes.

FIRE AT THE LITHERLAND TANNERY.
THOMAS BEAKBANE returns heart-felt Thanks to
the Neighbours who assisted at the FIRE on his Pre-
mises ; also, to Lieutenant MAXWELL and J. HEWITT for
their obliging and judicious official conduct ; and to the Di-
rectors of the LIVERPOOL FIRE AND LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY for the immediate and liberal settlement of his
claim.

T. B. feels it to be no more than his duty to endeavour to
direct the attention of those Tradesmen who, like himself,
are in middling circumstances, to the great advantage this
Company offers and gives in causing the least possible in-
convenience to the claimant the circumstances of the case
admit, arising from it having a resident Directory, composed
of honourable business-men, who can fully enter into the
difficulties the assured might be subjected to from a deferred
settlement.

RATHBONE-STREET WHOLESALE AND RETAIL
WINE AND SPIRIT VAULTS,

OPPOSITE THE MIDDLE GATE OF ST. JAMES'S MARKET.
EIGHT Years ago, when the Proprietor first opened the
above Establishment, he had no connexions to whom he
could appeal for support. He, consequently, felt the neces-
sity of adopting some principle of Trade, from which the
Public would derive a direct advantage, as well as himself ;
otherwise he could not reasonably anticipate a transfer of
patronage to his favour. To effect this, he directed his at-
tention to the following points, viz.,—To make quality the
leading consideration in the purchase of every article for sale.
To sell for the most limited profit, to insure a heavy and
quick return. To buy for cash, so as to command the very
choicest goods in the market, on the best terms. To per-
sonally superintend his business with competent assistants.
By adhering steadily to these rules,
EDGAR ESTLIN has fully succeeded. The Public soon
perceived and embraced
.the advantages of such a system ;
and now the RATH BONE-STREET WINE and SPIRIT
ESTABLISHMENT stands unrivalled in Liverpool, not
only for the increase and extent of its business, but for the
cheapness and quality of its goods.

E. ESTLIN contemplates making still further improve-
ments in his extensive Premises ; and for the purpose of
reducing his extensive and splendid STOCK, by the most
prompt and certain means, to carry this object into effect, he
has reduced it to the subjoined prices.
The WINES on sale are of full and delicious flavour; the
BRANDIES imported direct from Cognac ; the WHISKIES
from the Islay and Campbelton Distilleries; the RUMS of
the choicest import, (Jamaica,) and Bonded in 1834.
Splendid Jamaica RUM, 16s. and upwards ; inferior lower.
The very finest MALT WHISKY, 20s. per gallon; in-
ferior lower.

TO FEMALE INVALIDS,

" No less than 31,000 females have expired from diseases
peculiar to their sex in one year."—See the Reyistrar-Gene-
ral's Report.

DR. 13AYFIELD, R.N., of the University of Edinburgh,
and Member of the College of Surgeons, respectfully
announces to invalids, the above startling fact, as officially
stated by the Registrar-General, and informs them, that he
may be daily consulted (either personally or by letter,) as a
Physician-Accoucheur, by patients suffering from those pe-
culiar diseases, which if unattended to, or improperly treated,
quickly bring the malady to a fatal issue, or by undermining
a previously good constitution, cause the unhappy patient to
suffer a lingering existence; whereas by a timely application
to Dr. Bayfield, whose experience in the treatment of female
diseases for the last 16 years, he is warranted in stating, that
the disease will not only be speedily removed, but the patient
restored to her pristine state of health.
Dr. Bayfield may be daily consulted personally, at his resi-
dence, No. 18, NORTHAMPTON-SQUARE, GOSWELL-ROAD,
LONDON, or by letter, post free, describing symptoms, &c.,
and also enclosing a fee of ]Os. or a post-office order to that
amount—when the requisite medicine will be forwarded, to
any part of the three kingdoms.
Dr. Bayfield respectfully announces that his invaluable
SPASMODIC TINCTURE, so celebrated for affording im-
mediate relief in all cases of Spasms arising in the stomach,
bowels, and in the system generally, can be purchased only
of him at his residence, price 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d. and 9s. duty in-
cluded, in stopped bottles. One dose is sufficient to relieve
the most violent paroxysms.

Sole ept.—
Mr. Slav ENS, Chelllißt, 122, Ag St. John-street-road. London.

tori. The whole is a complete Entertainment, both intel-
lectual and amusing.
