ON and after the 1st January, 1S51, an important change will be made in the Price, Contents, and Conduct of THE LITERARY GAZETTE. In accordance with the general demand for a sound critical review of New Publications, at a price that comes within the reach of all well-informed classes, this old-established Journal will in future be devoted exclusively to LITERATURE, and sold at THREEPENCE. It will not be reduced in size, but will continue a sheet of sixteen, and, when rendered necessary by advertisements, of twenty-four quarto pages. In 1817, when THE LITERARY GAZETTE was established, it embraced the whole circle of Literature, Science, and Art, including Music and the Drama, and was sold at a Shilling. As readers and competition increased, the price was leduced to Ninepence, then to Fourpence. The spread of education and the desire of being informed of what is going on in the world of letters has so increased among those who were never contemplated as readers of a literary periodica!, that the prpsent alteration has been determined upon under a conviction that the additional num- ber of readers will more than compensate for the difference in price. The same reasons which have led to a reduction in the price of THE LITERARY GAZETTE, have induced an alteration of its Contents. Literature, Science, Fine Arts, Music, and the Drama, can no longer be treated effi- ciently within the compass of a weekly Journal. Science and Art have each their separate Journals; and Music and the Drama are fully reported in the Newspapers. Instead of treating superficially of all these departments, the Conductors of THE LITERARY GAZETTE have resolved to devote their energies to one and the most comprehensive —LITERATURE; and that the public may be early informed of the character and contents of New Publications, it is intended to give brief notices OF ALL WORKS as they come out, returning to such of them for review as may seem eligible for the purpose. All New English Books of interest, and occasionally Foreign Works, will be entrusted for review to the first writers of the day, and no department of Literature will be unrepresented. Books of Philosphy, Classics, History, Biography, Archaeology, Travels, Poetry, Plays, Works of Fiction, &c., will be reviewed by the highest authorities on the respective subjects; and the progresss of Natural and Physical Science will be ably shown in the reviews of scientific Books and Memoirs. THE LITERARY GAZETTE will be published every SATURDAY MORNING at 5 A.M., in time for despatch by the Morning Mails, and re-issued in Monthly Parts. Subscribers remitting in advance (half-yearly, 8s. 8d.; or yearly, 17s. 4d.), may have their copies forwarded to their address in any part of the United Kingdom by post. THE LITERARY GAZETTE may be procured at THREEPENCE of all the Booksellers and Newsvendors in London, and of the principal Booksellers throughout the Country. Orders and Advertisements received by Messrs. REEVE and BENHAM, 5, Henrietta-street, Covent Garden, where, after the 1st January, 1851, THE LITERARY GAZETTE will be published.

The Present Proprietor of IIALSE'S CELEBRATED MEDICINES, having been a vendor of them, and having heard from his customers of all the miraculous effects of them, and knowing that they had not been brought before the pub- lic in the provinces (although their sale in London is very large) in a manner that they olight to be, was induced to offer a certain sum for the Recipes, Titles, &c., to the original pro- prietor. After much time, and paying a much larger sum than he intended, he has accomplished his object. He has no doubt, however, that the invalid public will ultimately well pay him for his outlay. HALSE'S SCORBUTIC DROPS, A SURE CURE FOR SCURVY, BAD LEGS, AND ALL IMPURITIES OF THE BLOOD. Their effects in picrifying the blood is all but miraculous" THIS medicine is generally admitted to be the most certain purifier of the blood of any as yet discovered, a remarkable change in the appearance—from a death-like paleness to the roseate hue of health-taking place within a a very short time. Price 2s. 9d. each bottle, and in Pint bottles, containing nearly six 2s. 9d. bottles, for 11s., patent- duty included. The following letter must convince every one of the safe, speedy, and truly wonderful effects of those drops. This important letter is sent to Mr. Halse by Mr. Matthew a highly respectable farmer, of the parish of Brent, Devon :— 6- Brent, March 1st, 1842. Dear Sir-I consider it a duty incumbent on me to state to the public the invaluable properties of your SCORBUTIC DROPS. I may truly say that I could never have believed such a powerful anti-scorbutic medicine to be in the posses- sion of any one, had I not experienced its wonderful effects. Why is it that so many families are troubled with scorbutic eruptions, when such a puriiier of the blood, as your medi- cine decidedly is, is within the reach of almost every one ? The answer is evident; because you have not given it that pub- licity which it is your duty to do: and this is my principal rea- son tor now writing to you, that you make the particulars of the case public. Your modesty, sir, ou^ht not to evercome your duty to your fellow creatures; therefore, I trust, for the benefit of mankind, that you will give this letter a« much pub- licity as possible. You remember, when I first applied to you, that I was almost out of hopes of receiving any benefit for my poor suffering child, for I believe that I informed you that I had been trying all but everything in order to give my child some ease, but day by day she continued to get worse, until at length all strength left her, and she was no longer able to walk her body and head were covered all over with scorbu. tic eruptions, her appetite had vanished, the eruptions would itch in such a dreadful manner that she would roll herself in agonies on the ground, and she could get no sleep whatever by night. Immediately you saw her you told me you were certain your Scorbutic Drops would cure her; I paid but little attention to your statement as I had tried so many things in vain, but hearing of some wonderful cures made by you, I was determined to give your drops a trial, and fortunate for me I did so. Before she had taken one bottle of them all the itching ceased, her appetite returned, and she enjoyed sound and refreshing sleep. By the time she had taken the second bottle her skin was as fair as any person' the use of her limbs was restored to her, and I tliank God, her health is now as good, or better than it ever was. Why, Sir, do you not make the case of Thomas Rolins public 1-1 repeat, tt is your duty to do so. When he first commenced taking your drops he had not a sound inch of flesh in him his body was literally covered with large run- ning wounds, and a celebrated physician of Plymouth, who examined him, said, he never saw a man in such a condi- tion in all his life.' I have lately seen him, and he informs me that he has but one wound left, which is less than the size of half-a-crown, and which is healing fast. He certainly looks like another man altogether. lie told me that your Family Pills quickly restored his digestive powers, and gave him good refreshing rest by night. He would have been a dead man by this time if you had not taken him in hand. I-S-ncerely wishing you every success, allow me to remain dear sir, yours respectfully, WILLIAM MATTHEWS. Another surprising cure by means of Ilalse's Scorbutic Drops." Holt,near Wimborne, May 21, 184J. «*" To the Proprietor of lialie's Scorbutic Drops. 46 Sir,-It is due to you to state the astonishing cure your valuable medicine has caused to my wife. About five years sin s.e an eruption appeared in various parts of the body; she applied to various medical gentlemen without deriving the least benefit; the disorder coutinued to increase, and latterly to a very frightful extent, her body being covered with painful itching, unsightly scabs. About six months since i providen- tially snw the advertisement of liALsi-s SCORBUTIC DUOFS, in the Salisbury Journal. I detcrmiued tiiut my wife should give youx medicine a trial, and accordingly purtnased a Bottle of your Drops of Mr. Wiieaiori, your agent at liing wood, and I have not words to express my opinion of the medicine, but n the course of a fortnight she We:,< perfectly cured, havin* taken two battles of the Drops afiLl. VIIC box ot Pills. Six months have now elapsed, and she has had n., return of the complaint. A ueighbour of mine, Mr. John Shears, yeoman, of Holt, has a child eighteen months ot age, which, since it had been four months old, had its head and lace completely covered with scabs, causing itself and mother many sleepless nights. Now, as I was a witness oi the uuly wonderful etteeu of your incomparable medicine in my wife's case, 1 recommended it to my neighbour, and after some persuasion he purchased a bottle. He gave it to his ciiild the effect was miraculous, for in less than three weeks the child was perfectly cured. Truly, Halse's Scorbutic Drops is a wonderful medicine, and I am convinced that no one would be afflicted with the scurvy if they knew its value. 1 have recommended those Drops to many others in my neighbourhood; a statement of their cases, if you wish, I will forward another time.

DOVE, Manager. EXTRACT FROM THE "POST MAGAZINE." The Annual Report of the Royal Insurance Company, at Liverpool, and acommeotary upon it in the Post Magazine, have become as regularly conjoined as the Queen's tpeech on the opening of Parliament, and the debate by which it is invariably followed. The Managers of other Offices cannot charge us with partiality in these annual notices, as the success of the Royal Insurance Company has been of so remarkable a nature as almost to give it a separate position from Assurance Societies of recent date. In analysing the Report read at the recent meeting, and comparing its details with those of former years, we find that the amount received for Fire P^mmms ,n the year 1849 is £ 34,469 10s. 4d.; being about £ 2,-00 more than the receipts in 1846-ratber more than the amount received in 1S47-—and more than £ 3.000 above the receipts of 1848 The entire receipts, under this head from the opening of the office. in June. 1845, to31st )er 1848, .tand as follows June, 1845, to Dec. 31.1846 £<.14,128 19 0 Jan. I, 1847, to Dec. 31, 1847 34,187 5 5 Jan. 1, 1848, to Dec. 31, 1848 31,346 1 9 f 119,662 6 2 forming a grant total of nearly £120,000. EXTRACT FROM THE "REPORT." (LIFE BRANCH). The position of the Life Branch of the Company is such as to give ftill satisfaction. One Life only has dropped during the course of the past year, and since its close small claims have become payable on the deaths of two others. The total number of deaths, therefore, in five years, has been but four; whilst, if the average age of the lives insured by the Company be taken, and a computation be made, founded on the mortality known to prevail among insured lives, it would appear that the deaths iu that period of time should have beeu no less than ten. Taking, therefore, the important test which the quality of the lives selected by the Company gives, the Pioprietor may hope that this department will, in future yenrs, be- come the means of adding an increased permanent value to his property, while the life assurer, in addition to his con- sciousness of perfect security, may indulge the expectation of an important ultimate benefit to his policy in the shape of a rapidly-accruing profit which the continuance of a minimum rate of mortality would insure.

IGG" The system in which the PIANISTA has been Pub- lished Monthly for Ten Years, has given the greatest satisfaction to the fashionable musical world.

It gives about 10s. or 12s. worth of music I for 2s., but no reduction (even if 100 Operas are taken) caD be made from the marked price. SOLE AGENTS FOR I Cardiff Messrs. Bird and Sou.
