rits, dimness of sight, confused thoughts, wanderings of
the mind, vapours, and melancholy ; and all kinds of
hysteric complaints are gradually removed by its use.

SCOTTISH (Winows' FUND) ASSURANCE
SOCIETY,
CONSTITUTED BY ACT OF PARLIAMENT.
ESTABLISHED A.D,-1815.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES THE SOCIETY.
THE Principles of this S ety are those of Mutual
Assurance, or, as it een more properly termed,
Mutual Contribution. The Members are their own As-
surers. They are the Proprietors—the Sole Parties in-
terested in the Funds—and, although by the Articles of
Constitution, no Member is personally responsible for
any Sum of Money beyond the Contribution conditioned
to be paid by him in his Policy, the stability of the Society
is amply provided for and secured by the salutary Regula-
tion,—That at each Period of Investigation, one-third of
the ascertained Profits shall be set aside and retained as a
Guarantee Fund.

PRACTICE OF THE SOCIETY.
Whilst this Society owes very much unquestionably to
the Equity of the Rules and Principles upon which it has
been Established, some share of its Popularity is attri-
butable to the manner in which these Rules and Principles
are practically carried out. The Tables and Calculations
Are all founded upon data which the long and successful
experience of the Equitable Society of London has shown
may confidently be relied upon as safe.
Although almost universally practised by other Offices,
and although it unquestionably adds considerably to their
Business, the System of Bribing Parties unconnected
with their Office, by the offer of a Commission on all
Business introduced through their medium or influence, is
not countenanced by this Society. The Directors have al-
ways looked upon it as a practice which, for many reasons,
is equally to be deprecated in the Company or Society
offering, and in the party accepting the bribe.
One of the great characteristics of the Society is the li-
beral, punctual, and simple manner in which the Claims
are settled, combined with the very great care bestowed
by the Directors (with the advice and assistance of the
Medical Officers) in the Selection of Lives. Instead of
affording every facility to parties to join the Society, and
afterwards throwing all manner of unnecessary obstacles
in the way of settlement, when the claim emerges, the
Directors proceed upon the opposite principle of being
most cautious and particular in their inquiries before ad-
mitting Members to the Benefits of the Society; but,
after being admitted, they are entitled to all the advantages
which the Society affords; and when the claim emerges,
no undue delay takes place, and no difficulties which can
be avoided are interposed to prevent an easy and expedi-
tious settlement.
The utmost care is bestowed upon the Investment and
Accumulation of the Funds ; many advantageous oppor-
tunities, which are not open to others, being afforded to
this Society, in the large Amount of its Capital, and its
rapidly increasing Annual Revenue.
Forms of Proposal, and all further information, may
be had on application at the Head Office, or at any of the
Society's Agencies.

TEMPERANCE IN THE METROPOLIS.-It appears that,
in the year 1742, there were within the bills of mortality
20,000 houses and shops in which gin was sold by retail.
In 1840, the number of publicans and hotel-keepers, who,
though they deal in spirits, retail far greater quantities of
porter, ale, wine, &c.—was only 5,840; yet the popula-
ion of London has, since 1742, nearly trebled ! To the
temperance movement, and the increased number of
cheap and convenient coffee-houses, this improvement is
attributable.— Chambers' Journal.

AN ARNIY AGENT.—Daniel O'Connell begs to inform
Continental monarchs generally, and the Duke of Bor-
deaux (" Henry the Fifth") in particular, that he has:on
hand an immense stock of materials, from which he can,
" in forty-eight hours," furnish an Irish brigade. Throats
cut at so much a day ; a great allowance made if a quan-
tity required. Cities set in conflagration with ease and
despatch ; and all the varieties of war executed with
punctuality and precision. Colours warranted not to rnn.
