LOSS OF TEETH A very CUIIOUS invention connected with Dental Surgery has be»n introduced by Mr. Howard ,t « ,he imrodoclion of an Entirely New Description of Artificial Teeth. fi,ed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They. so perfecll, resemble natural teeth, as not to be distinguished trom the originais by the most intimate friend. They will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve the teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. The invention deserves the notice of the scientific, and is ofim- portance to many persons, and those who are interested in iti cannot do better than avail themselves of Mr. Howard's skill as a Dentist. And in order that his improvements may be within the reach of the most economical, he will continue the sarne moderate charges. MR. HOWARD, SURG EON-DENTIST, 17, GEORGE- STREET, HANOVER SQUARE, LONDON. At hnme from ten till five.

Dr. Merriman, Physician to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. And numerous other members of the medical profession. Those interested in the subject will find this statement of their superiority over all others, to be entirely and scrupulously correct. OPENING OF NEWPORT HOUSE. ENTIRE NEW STOCK. JOHN PRICE AND COMPANY respectfully inform the nobility, clergy, gentry, and inhabitants generally of New- port, Pillgwenlly, and surrounding neighbourhood, that they have taken the above spacious premises, lately occupied by Messrs. Zouch and Evans, which they purpose OPENING ON OR ABOUT THE 25TH INST. With an entire new and well-selected stock of Linen and Woollen Drapery, silks, shawls, mantles, delaines, Cachmeres, prints, muslins, Cobourg cloths, ribbons. lace, hosiery, parasols, hats, straw bonnets, mourning goods, &c., &c., -to., which they are determined to sell at the lowest possible prices. The many years' experience J. P. and Co. have had in London, Glasgow, and manufacturing districts, will enable them con- stantly to place bargains before the public. Before opening the above establishment, John Price and Co. are anxious that the system on which they intend conduct- ing business should be clearly understood in short, it is based on the most Equitable Principle. Here there is but one ex- change between the producer and consumer; here their interests are mutual; here, when goods are bought extraor- dinarily cheap, that is, under value, which from our position as capitalists and from our knowledge of the markets, will be frequent, the same will be sold at the usual low rate of profit, therefore giving the benefit to purchasers; so it will be the in- terest of all in these economizing times, to buy their Drapery Goods, &c.. &c., at Newport House. Every article warranted good and genuine any of which failing to give the fullest satisfaction, exchanged, or the money returned. All goods marked in plain figures-only one price made. „ (See next week's MERLIN.) Newport, March, 1850. c J. EWINS.

Dated this 7th day of March, 1850. A. WADDINGTON, Clerk. BRITISH EMPIRE MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. 37, NEW BRIDGE-STREET, BLACKFRIARS, LONDON. THIRD ANNUAL REPORT For the year ending December 31st, 1849. rpHE Directors, in presenting their Third Annual Report, J_ congratulate their fellow members that the support which the company has received during the last year has strengthened the confidence they have always felt in its stability and prosperity. The following statement of its progress during the three years of its existence will show that the public are becoming sensible that a Life Assurance Company, well conducted, re- quires no capital beyond that which is yielded by the premiums paid, and that a proprietary body, under whatever form or name it may be disguised, is an incumbrance on the assured members. General Investment Life. Amount. Assurances. Amount. 1H47 policies effected 266 £ 49,918 192 £13,566 1848 „ „ 318 47.059 523 30,706 1849 „ 721 103,122 450 26,253 Total in 3 years.. 1,305 E205 099 1,165 f70,525 It thus appears, that the new life policies effected during the last year are considerably more than double the number issued in the preceding year, and that they, with the invest- ment assurances, make a total of '2,470 policies issued in three years. The investment assurances have not increased in an equal proportion to the General Life Assurances, owing probably to the disarrangement of commercial affairs during the years 1847 and 1848, which has extended its influence gradually through- out society, and deprived many of the ability to lay by any surplus income. As the mode in which the funds of the com- pany are employed enables the directors to offer in these assurances an amount of interest on the sums paid in, which cannot be elsewhere obtained, while facilities are afforded for withdrawing the premiums whenever desired, they look with confidence to a large increase in this department of their business. The balance of the money advanced on the formation of the company has been paid out of the premiums received, and the company is now freed from all liabilities, except the amounts assured by the policies issued, which are amply provided for by the income arising from the premiums on the assurances granted, amounting to £ 9,584 16s. Id. per annum. The Com- pany has already realised a capital of £ 9,240 16s. 10d., a large portion of which is invested in advances to the members on various securities. Notwithstanding the prevalence of the recent epidemic, the claims for death have been but small, only £1,091 during the three years of the company's existence, being far below the amount estimated by its tables. The benefit of Life Assurance has been enforced upon public attention by the circumstances through which our country has passed during the last year the statement of a fact in illustra- tion may be desirable:-An intelligent, active, and useful man effected a policy of insurance with the company, being at the time in good health, and likely to live to old age. He had, however, only paid about two years' premiums, when, while ministering to the relief of families suffering under the recent epidemic, his useful course was suddenly arrested by that ruth- less destroyer. His wife and children were found wholly un. provided for, except by his lite policy. The money derived from the company furnished the means for his widow to commence a little business, with every prospect of being enabled thereby comfortably to provide for her family. Other cases might be adduced, it necessary. It is found that the money thus paid by ths office presents so full an exhibition of the value of Life Assurance, and the promptness wi:h which it is paid proves so strong a recommendation of your institu tion, that, in some cases, a large amount of new premiums has been the result, and the company has gained more in its in- creased income than has been disbursed in satisfaction of the claims. In conclusion, the directors remind the members that the extension of the company's business rests with themselves. If each member would (inly obtain one friend to assure his or hei life, immediately the number of policies now existing will be at once doubled, The present members will thus derive an ad- vantage, inasmuch as the expenses of the company do not increase in proportion to the extension of the business, and will be spread over a larger surface, and at the same time they will have conferred an important advantage on those who are thus induced to make some provision for the future.
