The leading feature of the Scottish Equitable is, that the
WHOLE PROFITS are -allocated every THREE YEARS
amongst Policy-holders of more than five years' endurance, in
terms of the Laws of the Society. 'These allocations are not,
as in most other Offices, made on the original sums assured,
but on the sums-assured and also on ALL PREVIOUS ADDI-
TIONS, so that the Bonus of .W 2 per cent. declared at Ist
March last, was equal to about 14a. per cent. per annum
on the sums originally assured by the earlier Policies.

—The following additions, amounting to £444,665, have seen
made to Policies at the Triennial Allocations :
In 1841 £75,230
.1844 83,210
1847 129,984
1850 159,232

e 440,665

The effect of these additions is, that a Pc:licy for £lOOO,
dated Ist March, 1832, becoming a claim before let March,
1831, would receive no less a •Eiim than €1457 16s.—being
nearly FORTY-SIX per cent. oil the sum originally assured—
and other Policies in the same proportion, according to their
dates.
The ANNUAL RENENUE is above £l2o,oto—and the
ACCUMULATED FUND exceeds €572,000.

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS:
The following testimonial is another proof of the great
.efficicacy of this medicine :
" 157, New Bor.d-street, London, Octoier 12th, 1850.
" Sta,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I
have experienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMA-
TIC PILLS, I feel that 1 am but performing a tiuty to that
•portion of the public who may be similarly afflicted.
" About twenty years since I was fist attacked by Rheuma-
tic Gout in my hands and feet. I bpd previously been sub-
jected to every variety of climate, h ling sery in Canada in
the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, der Sir Joh ed
n Moore, in the
itith 'Hussars. I always prof d the best medical aid, but
without obtaining any essent' relief, and my sufferings can
be appreciated only by t se who know something of this 1
disease.
It was during one those paroxysms, between twelve and
thirteen years ago, t I was recommended to try BLAIR'S
pth4,S. I lost no lie in procuring a box, and before I had

iaVeTitiai quantify the pain had euiirely ceased, and in a few
da)•s I mils in perfect health. _ _ _

" From that moment whenever I feel any symptoms of the
disease approaching, .1i have instant recourse to this Medicine.
which to me is so valuable that were it not that the days of
magic bave.ceased, I should certainly attribnte the relief I ob-
tain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health
has not in any degree slat-erect, but on the contrary I believe
the tendencyof BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement.
" I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the
result has always trees of the most gratifying,character

LATER FROM THE UNITED STATES,

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM-SHIP AMERICA

The royal mail steam-ship America, Captain Neil
Shannon, arrived in the river yesterday afternoon, at a
quarter-past two, after a very rapid run, having been de-
tained at Boston fourteen hours by the non-arrival of the
Canada mails, which, owing to a severe snow storm, did
not reach their destination at the usual time. The America
left Boston on the 26th ult.' at 2 30 a.m., and Halifax on
the following evening at half-past five. We publish be-
low the log oftheAmerica,from which it will be seen that she
encountered heavy unfavourable weather. She has

brought thirty-five passengersand3s,ooo dollars in specie.
We subjoin a telegraphic despatch from New York to the
evening of the 26th ult.
The steam-ship Asil was spoken off Cape Clear at
2 p.m. on Sunday. The Africa arrived at New York on
the 22nd ult, at 12 30 p.m., after a boisterous passage.
The intelligence by this arrival is not very impor-
tant. Nothing had been &mein Congress, the chief subject
of debate being cheap postage. Difficulties existed be-
tween the American Cabinet and the Austrian Charge
d' Affaires ; the latter having advised the U. S. Govern
ment not to interfere in Hungarian affairs, and air
tary of State having justified the policy of the
Mr. Clay had presented several petitions
a protectionist tariff.
The news by the arrival of the Africa had been favour-
ably received, as the fear of. any serious disturbance in
Europe was removed. Confidence was again being re-

to the senate for

stored.
The Forrest divorce case occupies, still, thepublic mind
in New York. Mr. Forrest's affidavit has been met by
the counter affidavits on Mrs. Forrest's side of the case.

bill proposed in the senate, for a state convention
