WEST OF ENGLAND FIRE AND LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.
CAPITAL, £600,000.
President—The Right Honourable the Earl of DEVON.
FIFTH' DIVIDEND TO THE INSURED.
DEMONS insured against Fire to the extent of £3OO and
upwards, whose'Policies continued in force at Christmas,
1837, and ho had then been insured. Two Years at least,
are hereby informed, that the Fifth Dividend, calculated on
the Nett Amount of the Premiums
.paid by them, from
Christmas, 1832, to Christmas, 1837, is now payable at the
Company's Office in Exeter, and by the Agents with whom
the Insurances are effected, or renewed. •
FIRE INSURANCES continue to be granted on the
above plan of admitting• tive-Insured into a participation of
the Surplus at the end of every Fifth Year, from which the
Public have already derived considerable returns.
LIFE INSURANCES.—A Bonus has been declared on
Policies, by adding to the Sums Insured, payable at the de-
cease of the Life, or an equivalent reduction of the future
Annual Premiums, at the option of the Insured. This ad-
vantage, added to the reduced rates of Premiums, renders
the terms of this Company particularly favourable to the In-
sured.

This Company's business is Still increasing, and the esti-
mation in which the Institution is held, may be inferred from
the fact, that, as a Fire Office, it ranks the Seventh 'in the
Kingdom ; and, as a Life Office, the extent of its business is
not inferior to that of the first-rate Companies.
The Company does not pride itself on account of the large
amount of Government Tax levied on the Public, in the shape
of Duty on Fire Insurances paid to the Company, but rather
refers, with satisfaction, to a measure in which the Insured
are beneficially interested—namely, the large return made to
them out of the Premiums paid, as the following Statement of
Policies, amongst many others, which are now receiving the
Bonus attached thereto, in the Liverpool department, will
prove:—

THE celebrated Cordial BALM of SYRIACUM, or
NATURE'S GRAND RESTORATIVE.
There is nothing more remarkable in the social habits of
the present day, and more particularly in those of the past
century, than a general disregard to the maxims of prudence
in regard to health and enjoyment. Hence the vast multi-
tudes who, having acquired the portion of an enfeebled con-
stitution, are doomed to the class of habitual invalids. Their
minds anxious, unsteady, or sluggish, and their bodies
weak, the natural functions of life are discharged laboriously,
with pain and difficulty. For this state of nervous derange-
ment, the celebrated
CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM

will be found to have peculiar efficacy, strengthening the lan-
guid system and shedding new hope on the mind. A perse-
verance in its use has been the happy means of relieving
many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per-
manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in
all disorders of the digestive organs, and is especially recom-
mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age,
habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have
fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing
train of symptoms commonly denominated the NERVOUS.
In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the
corporeal, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, with-
out interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.
Its primary object is to relieve those persons who, by an
immoderate indulgence in their passions, have ruined their
constitutions and brought on a perfect tabis dorsalis ; or, in
their way to the consummation of that deplorable malady,
the affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray
its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system,
obstinate gleets, involuntary emission's, excesses, irregu-
larity, weakness, total impotency. barrenness. &c. But
the relief the CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM ge-
nerally administers is not confined to these alone : the
latitudinarian by birth, who has received from his parents theinheritance of a diseased and unprolific frame—the deli-
cate female, whom an immured and inactive life, together
with an immoderate use of tea and other weak and watery
aliments, has, without any fault of hers, brought on all the
calamitous symptoms of a consumptive habit, and are, with-
out timely assistance, sinking into a premature grave ! Such
as these, under Divine Influence, the Cordial Balm of Sy-
riacum will restore to the enjoyment of all the comforts of
life. It is universally admired, being pleasant to the taste and
smell, gently astringes the fibres of the stomach, and gives
that proper tensity which a good digestion requires.
To the young it will afford lasting health, strength, and
spirits, in place of lassitude and debility, and to the aged and
infirm it will assuredly furnish great relief and comfort, by
gently and safely invigorating_ the system. It will not give
immortality, but if it he in the power of medicine to gild the
autumn of declining years, and calmly and serenely protract
the close of life beyond its narrow span, this restorative is
capable of effecting this grand desideratum.
The Cordial is highly esteemed in the East and West In-
' dies for nourishing and invigorating the nervous system and
acting as a general restorative on debilitated constitutions,
arising from bilious complaints contracted in hot climates.
The studious as well as the sedentary part of the community
should never be without the Cordial Balm of Syriacum,
which removes diseases of the bead, invigorates the mind,
improves the memory, and enlivens the imagination.
Sold in bottles, price lls. each, or the quantity of four 'in

ONE OF THE BEAUTIES OF THE NATIONAL SYSTEM.—
following has been communicated to us by a trustworthy
Correspondent :—" Not far from the place in which I write,
a National School is conveniently located in the neighbour-
hood of a mixed population of Roman Catholics, Protes-
tants, and Presbyterians. The Protestant parents, living at
a considerable distance from a parish school; naturally
enough avail themselves of the nearest National School for
their children. The master, being a Roman Catholic, asks
a large class of Roman Catholic children--' Can the priest
forgive sins?' Yes, Sir,''readily answers the boy to whom
the question was put; and the master, patting the boy on
the back, encourages the lie, and adds, Yes, he can.'
Again,'to another child—' Which is the true church?' 'The
Holy Roman Catholic Church,' responds the child, and the
master again adds, Right, sir.' The above questions took
place, and were demanded, in the presence of both Protes-
tants and Presbyterians ,"'---Derry Sentinel.
