ADVANTAGES OF THIS INSTITUTION.
The whole of the Profits divided ANNUALLY among the
Members, after payment of five Annual Premiums.
An ample guaranteed Capital, in addition to the Fund conti-
nually accumulating from Premiums fully sufficient to afford
complete security to the Policy-Holders.
HALF CREDIT RATES OF PREMIUM.
The attention of ASSURERS is particularly directed to the
Half Credit Rates of Premium, by which means Assurances
may be effected, and loans for short periods secured with the
least possible present outlay, and at a less premium than for
short terms only, and with the option of paying up the arrears
and interest, and the difference between the two rates, thus
becoming entitled to participate in the whole of the profit of
the institution.

Thus, for example-4a person in the twenty-fifth year of his
age need only pay 18s. 9d. per cent. yearly for the first five
years, and afterwards by paying up the remaining half with
interest, and the difference between the above rates, he will be
entitled to share in the entire profits, which it is expected will
reduce the future payments to little more than half the original
Mutual rate. The GREAT BRITAIN is the only society in which
this very great accommodation is given to the Assured.

THE •EARL OF ALDBOROUGH
CURED BY
HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.
THE EARL OF ALDBOROUGH CURED OF A LIVER
AND STONIACH COMPLAINT.

Extract of a Letter from the Earl of Aldborough, dated Villa
Messina, Leghorn, 21st February, 1845.
To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY.

Sin,—Varions circumstances prevented the possibility of my
thanking you before thiS time for your politeness in sending
me your pills as you did. I now take this opportunity of send-
ing you an order for the amount, and, at the same time, to add
that your pills have effected a cure of a disorder in my Liver
and Stomach, which all the most eminent of the Faculty at
home, and all over the Continent, had not been able to effect ;
nav, not even the waters of Carlsbad and Marienbad. I wish
to have another Box and a Pot of the Ointment, in case any
of my family should ever require either.
Your moat obliged and obedient servant,
(Signed) ALDBOROUGH.
A WONDERFUL CURE OF DROPSY OF FIVE YEARS'
STANDING.

Copy of a Letter from Mr. Thomas Taylor, Chemist, Stockton,
Durham, 17th April, 1845.
To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY.

SIR,—I think it my duty to inform you that Mrs. Clough,
wife of Mr. John Clough, a respectable firmer of Acklam, within
four miles of this place, had been suffering:from Dropsy for live
years, and had had the best medical advice without receivirg
any relief. Hearing of your Pills and Ointment, she used them
with such surprising benefit that, in fact, she has now given
them up, being so well and quite able to attend to her house-
hold duties as formerly, which she never expected to do again.
I had almost forgotten to state that she was given up by the
Faculty as incurable. When she used to get up in the morning
it was impossible to discover a feature in her face, being in such
a fearful state. This cure is entirely by the use of your medi-
cines.—l am, Sir, yours, &c. &c.,,
(Signed) THOMAS TAYLOR.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NoTniNci.--At the police court
yesterday, Capt. Hamlin, of the Royal Engineers, urged
a formal complaint to Mr. Rus.htnn, of what he conceived
the derogatory conduct of one of the police officers (No.
213.) towards one or his corps of Sappers and Miners.
It appeared teat the soldier, who appeared in his foraging
•
attire. hafl on Saturday gone into the court to attest to
two recruits ; that he was seen to wear his cap while the
business of the court was going on ; that he was requested
by two police officers to take it off ; that he refused to
do so, alleging that he was .on military duty; and that a
third (213) took it off, hut without violence. The Captain
stated that it was the custom in the army not to doff the
hat or cap in any court, or elsewhere, unless the party
were taking an oath, or atte,ting upon it; and as the
soldier had refrained from chastising the offence at the
moment, he (Ihe captain) trusted that his forbearance,
and his seeking redress by an appeal to the magistrate
would not be in vain. The soldier stated the case as re.
lated, adding that his orders were not to uncover except
in the case mentioned. The officers proved their case in
defence, 213 stating that he was ignorant of having acted
wrongly. Capt. tiamlin said he was anxious to have the
point of etiquette decided, and that it was decidedly
wrong for a police officer to lay hands upon a soldier who
was not an offender against the laws. Mr. Rushton said
that in that respect the officer was certainly wrong. His
duty was to represent the case to him at the time. Had
the soldier corm lained to him at the time, he should cer-
tainly have advised him to take off his cap, with.an inti-
mation that he (Mr. R.) should consult his commanding
officer. Colonel Falkner, on the point. He admitted
soldiers were jealous, and properly so. of their privileges,
and as he wished a good understanding to exist between
them and the civilians, he should take care to mention the
circumstance to the commanding officer of the corps that
very day, and he regulated by his opinion. Capt. Hamlin
exp-essed his thanks, and the parties lea the court.
Two brigs, the Belfast of Liverpool, and the Admiral,
were wrecked off the north-east coast of Scotland. during
the late gales. Thirteen lives were lost in the Belfast and
twelve in the Admiral.

THE THEATRE ROYAL, WILLTA MON- QU ARE wall
re-opened (s ter having been closed fora short time) last
night, with Shakspeare's tragedy of " Romeo and Juliet,"
in which Miss firlen Faucet personated Juliet, in a man-
ner that will in no way deteriorate the laudable opinions
we have hitherto entertained and expressed. No piece
could be better calculated to display the relative talent
of the. Company than that selected, and it gives us plea.•
sure to award to them, individually, the credit of having
sustained these characters in a most creditable manner.
Mr. Henry Farren's " Nicholas Flam," in the laughable
farce of that title, was beyond excellent. The scenery
by Messrs. Cordon and F. I.l)yds, was most splendid,
and it is only through extraordinary press of local matters
of yesterday that prevents our entering into detail.
