This Institution is empowered by a Special Act of Parliament, and is so constituted as to afford the benefits of Life Assurance in their fullest extent to Policy-Holders, and to present greater facilities and accommodation than are usually offered by other Companies. The decided superiority of its plan, and its claim to public preference and support, have been proved incontestably, by its extraordinary and unprecedented success. A sturances may either be effected by Parties on their own Lives, or by Parties interested therein on the Lives of others. The effect of an Assurance on a person's own life is to create at once a Property in Reversion, which can by no other means be realized. Take, for instance, the case of a person at the age of Thirty, who by the payment of 51. 3s. 4d. to the Britannia Life Assurance Company, can become at once possessed of a bequeathable property, amounting to IOOOl., subject only to the condition of his continuing the same payment quarterly during the remainder of his life,-a condition which may be fulfilled by the mere saving of EIGHT SHILLINGS weekly in-his expenditure 1 hus, by the exertion of a very slight degree of economy—such indeed, as can scarcely be felt as an inconvenience, he may at once realize a capital of 10001., which he can bequeath or dis- pose of in any way he may think proper. A Board of Directors in attendance daily at Two o'clock. PETER MORRISON, Esq., Resident Director.

Under the immediate sanction of the PRESIDENT of the COLLEGE of PHYSICIANS. For Acidities, heartburn, headache, gout, indigestion, &c. THE great advantages of this elegant preparation are, that, being in a FLUID STATE, and possessing all the properties of Magnesia in general use, it is not liable to form dangerous concretions in the bowels; it corrects ACIDITY and HEARTBURN effectually, without injuring the COATS OF THE STOMACH," as Carbonate of Soda and Potash are known to do it prevents THE FOOD OF INFANTS TURNING SOUR DURING DIGESTION • it )s very useful in cases of Gour, GRAVEL, and other complaints' of the BLADDER; and. in all cases it acts a pleasing aperient peculiarly adapted for Feinales,pairticularly during PREGNANCY. The high leslimonials received in favour of Mr. Dinneford's preparation from the most eminent members in every branch of the medical profession, has established its superiority on an irre- fragable basis, and placed it at once beyond the reach of com- petition. DR. WILKINSON, of Bath. whose familiarity with practical chemistry so well entitles his opinion to respect, says- •• A bottle of the FLUID MAGNESIA of SIR JAMES MURRAY'S, sent to me for analyzation by a chemist in this town, gave me seven grains of Magnesia, and three grains of Sulphate of Soda, to the ounce, whilst yours yielded SEVENTEEN GRAINS OF PURE MAGNESIA to the ounce. I conscientiously bear testimony to the correctness of the above results. t- ,.n a ^Si8"ed) C. H. WILKINSON, M.D. Dated, Oct. 23, 1840." This conclusive testimony is further corroborated by the follow- ing distinguished persons:— W. T. BIIAN D E, Fq., F.R.S., Professor of Chemistry of the Royal Institution, &c. j me nil* Pni ^nt'lor l'ie Pharmacologia, &c., &c. n. J. 'ranslatorof the Pharmacopoeia, Lecturer on Pharmaceutical Chemistry, &c JEROME MORGAN, Esq., Surgeon to the General Dispen- iary' M Tactical Chemist, Dublin, who also analyzed Sir James Murray's Compound. SIR HENRY HALFORD says-" I have seen the machinery and the process by which you prepare the PURE Solution of Magnesia, and have been much pleased by all that I have seen the preparation is a very good one." SIR CHA R 1, ES M. CLARKE says-H The Solution of Magnesia, prepared by Mr. lhnneford, is a very useful and agreeable pre- paration' ° h SIR DAVID DAVIES says—" I consider it FAR SUPERIOR to any other preparation of the kind that 1 have seen. This I at- tribute to the perfect manner in which Mr. Dinueford conducts the process." DR. GAIRDNER says-" I have prescribed your Solution of Magnesia extensively. I have also made trial of the same remedy prepared by others, and am satisfied, that for PURITY AND STRENGTH, yours deserves a very DECIDED PREFERENCE." The Acidulated Lemon Syrup,usually sold with the Solution makes the most agreeable saline draughts, and materially in- creases the aperient quality.Prepared by Dinneford; Family Chemist to her Majesty the Queen Dowager, 172, New Bond Street. CAUTION.—Be careful to ask.for DINNEFOR D'S PURE FLUID MAGNESIA, to avoid the substitution of the impure Irish prepara- tions, which are imported in leaden and other deleterious metallic vessels. Their impurity may be readily detected by the TASTE, and is even obvious to the SIGHT. None can be relied upon as GENUINE, unless the House Stamp of the Proprietor be pasted over the cork ofearli bottle. To be procured of the principal Chemists throughout the Kingdom. ° IMPORTANT TO SALT MANUFACTURERS AND BOILERS OF SUGAR, &C. IN OPEN PANs.-The following improve- ment in the manufacture of salt has been tried and proved available by Mr. Benjamin Smith, salt manufacturer, of Droitwich, (although he has not claimed it in his patent for the manufacture ol salt,) and he wishes to make it known to persons in the above business, as it will be a great saving both of fuel and pans. Over the fire or fires, where the most rapid boiling takes place, put a cover, made with anything ■iii Cran renaove(^ 00 or °ff at pleasure; by so doing it will be tound to move the greatest part of the salt that would form itself on or over the fire backwards, with the brine in agitation, to the back part of the pan. It may be done by having a number of boards nailed together, similar to a door, with a rim upon the top side about four inches high, over each hre, with the front part of the boards a little lower than the back and as the evaporation moves backward from under the cover, the greater part of the salt will move backward also, and thereby, in a very great measure, save the pan from burning. By adopting this method there will be very little boiling observable, though, in reality, the boiling will he more rapid. The brine will be in constant agitation from the boil- ing part being covered in part, and thereby cause the crystals to fall more freely than under the old system of open pans. e, understand that persons wishing further information upon he subject can obtain the same by applying to Mr. Benjamin Smith, Droitwich; so that such information required does not relate to any part of the patent which he has had granted to him for the manufacture of salt. n MR. COBDEN.-It is not generally known that Mr. Cobden, who figures as the principal leader of the Anti- tvorn Law confederacy, was, a few years since, a com- mercial traveller in Ireland, and is indebted for his celebrity in the manufacture of fancy cotton goods to a young man named Whitfield, a native of the city of Dublin, who is deaf and dumb, and who has furnished, these seven years past, those beautiful patterns which brought Mr. Cobden into notice as a manufacturer.

FRANCE.
FRANCE. A new incident occurred in the Chamber of Deputies on Thursday, which it was deemed possible might tend to re- store the vote by ballot to favour. » On a proposition of Ministers (by a bill prepared and presented to the Chamber) to grant a sum of 2,000,000f. to the company which had con- structed the railroad between Bordeaux and La Teste to assist them to complete the work, the Chamber voted "par assie et levee" (a show of hands) the eight paragraphs of the bill. When, however, the House came to a vote on the ensemble of the bill (" that this bill do pass"), and which is always done by ballot, there appeared-For the bill, 164; against it, 166 majority against Ministers and the bill, 2. This proceeding appears to have much chagrined the Ministers and their adherents. M. Bailleul, formerly a member of the National Conven- tion, died in Paris on Thursday, in the 80th year of his age. M. Bailleul was one of the juùs of Louis XVI., but voted for the confinement of that unhappy Prince. Having become afterwards member of the Council of Five Hundred, it was on his denunciation that assembly enacted on the 18th Fructidor a decree of banishment against 52 deputies and 41 proprietors and journalists, SPAIN. The French Legitimatists are urging the Carlists to make a new demonstration in Spain in favour of the principle of legitimacy. At their instigation General Arevalo has lately visited the different depots of Spanish refugees, to enlist com- batants for that purpose from among them, and General Balmaseda had come from Toul to Paris, to have an under- standing on the subject with the French leaders. The latter, it appears, have persuaded some of the Spanish chiefs that Don Carlos connived at the movement, and that the friends of the ex-Regent Christina would join it, if the certainty of a marriage between Queen Isabella and the Prince of the Asturias were held out to them. However Don Carlos is as averse as ever to such a combination. His former ambassa- dor at Vienna, the Marquis of Villafranca, was lately deputed to Bourges, to solicit his abdication in favour of his son, but all the considerations he submitted to the Prince had proved unavailing to shake his determination not to relinquish any of his rights to the throne of Spain."

BRISTOL COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
BRISTOL COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. MONDAY. [Before Commissioner Mr. Sergeant Stephen.] In re Aaron Brain, shopkeeper, of Bedwelty. Meeting for choice of assignees. Mr. Phillpotts, solicitor, of Newport, and attorney for the bankrupt, sought to prove against the estate on two bills for law costs. Mr. Howard objected, that the bills had not been taxed, and that Mr. P. could not prove until he produced the master's allocatur. His honour, after referring to some cases, said, that the rule laid down was, that such proofs were admissible for the purpose of voting in the choice of assignees, to be subject afterwards, of course, to the deductions made by the master. The proofs were then received. Mr. P. then applied to prove, on behalf of a creditor of the name of Thomas, for a debt of £ 500, under a mortgage deed. Mr. Howard said, the deed recited that the bankrupt was indebted in the sum of £ 2000 on a balance of judgment, recovered in the Court of Exchequer. Before Mr. P. could prove he must produce an office copy of that judgment. The court inquired what amount Mr. P. proposed to prove for'! Mr. P. said the circumstances of the case were of such a nature, that if he was to go fully into the question, which he was prepared to do, he must occupy three or four hours of his honour's time. His Honour: But you can give an answer to my question. Mr. P.: Suppose Mr. Thomas proves for one half of the E500, and does not give up the secui-it3-1 His Honour Without giving up the security I cannot admit it at all. You must also produce an office copy of the judgment. This proof was then rejected. Mr. P. then tendered some other proofs, which were objected to by Mr. Howard as being informal, the powers of attorney and the affidavits not being dated in the Bristol District Court of Bankruptcy." They were rejected. Some further conversation and lengthened altercation then ensued between the respective attorneys, and at half-past four, there being no prospect of a conclusion, the choice of assignees was adjourned to a future dav. [Before Mr. Commissioner Stephenson.] In re Dickenson, butcher, of Newport. Mr. J. G. Smith, on behalf of the creditors, continued his examination of the bankrupt and other witnesses, but as it involved mere details of accounts, uninteresting and unintel- ligible, except to the parties themselves, it is unnecessary for us to give it.

— ■ — MONMOUTH. MORE MONOMANIA'. TUESDAY. I (Before the Mn-or.) It being- gene^lly known that James Prickett, whose singular delusion# have been so repeatedly noticed in the columns of the local press, had been taken into custody on a chargecf threatening to<jdo some grievous bodily harm to MjC JóhnYowel1, wine-mercha.nt,! of Agiiiagurt-square. The jury-jfeoip was cfoyded with persons %&xiot$s to hear the proceedings.! Shortly before pine #irfacjbin the evening, Thos. Gratrds,' Esq., the mayor, entered thWxoom, and proceeded to hear the case. The information of tr. J. Powell was read, and sworn to by that gentleman. It was to this effect :-That on the 13th flay of March James Prickett did threaten to have my blood if he did not have his rights. I swear that I have held no rights from him, and that I am afraid he meditates personal violence on me. Prickett vehemently exclafmted that he did not intend to touch Mr. Powell, and that he did not on any occasion threaten him. The mayor said that Mr. Powell had sworn that con- sidered himself in danger, and^-hftt he should be compelled to order him to find sureties to keeplh* piace. Mr. Powell hoped gie sureties would be /or a/heavy amount, as he consillewd Piackctt a dangerous lunatic. The mayor said he shoulp consider the defendant's cir- cumstances in life in fixing the amount fif bail required. His tforship was about to state the bait" he should requ^e, 1V&. HaiJson, who appeared for Priekett in the absence of] Mr. J. G. fi. Owen, expressed a wish to have evidence as to e -the nature of thejithreats, which was complied with, and ISj^. Walter Williams was sworn. He stated I was at ■^w>rock#|ar Boat public-hdtase last evening, ■ about nine Jfcckett and other persons were present. I aslwd lffckett ij^tob^t Parry had bought the piece of ground (meaning^n erAjird fermerly in the occupation of Priekett), and whether Rirry had a right to order any one off it. He replied Yes." I then sailY, we shall have a little more fun and a little more law. Prickett said he had had quite enough law. That he had been ruined. That it was all through Mr. J. Powell; and that he would have justice yet, or blood. I asked him .what he meant, and cautioned him not to go about talking like that. I said those are words j you should not use; and if you go up in town and make use of such language, you'll meet some of the common council, as you call them, and they'll pen you up. He again said he would have justice, or there should be blood for blood. I said, do you mean to call .Mr. Powell out to fight a duel He replied he did not know what he -should do, but that he should have vengeance-, 1 said we are not justified as men sitting here to hear you talk like that, with- out taking you into custody oureelves. He said I might take him up, and go and tell Mr. Powell if I liked but to mind that I told both sides of the story and again repeated he'd have justice or blood. I said I did not want to tell Mr. Powell, btrt that as he was qnite cool and sober he should not talk so. Other persons present asked him if he meant what he said, and he replied, Oh yes I always mean what I say." I did not inform Mr. Powell, but in consequence of that gentleman applying to me I came here to state this. Mr. Harrison asked the witness a few questions, with a view ef showing that Prickett might have meant some, other Mr. Powell; but he and all the other persons present under- stood him to mean Mr. John Powell. Pricket said, I never want to molest Mr. John Powell." The Mayor.—This is a very serious charge, Mr. Prickett, and I must call on you to find bail. Prickett.-But the charge is false. The Mayor.—My duty compels me to do it. In default of bail Prickett was eventually committed to the county gaol. THE THIRD ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MONMOUTHSHIRE EDUCATION BOARD. At the close of another year it again becomes the duty of the Committee to submit to the subscribers a statement of the proceedings, together with an account of the appropriation of their funds entrusted to their management and care. It has been their anxious endeavour to employ these, under a con- stant sense of their responsibility, in the furtherance of the objects originally proposed; and they trust that the measure of good which they have been enabled to accomplish, will not seem inadequate to the limited resources placed at their command. To the Middle School at Newport they can point with great satisfaction, as that establishment is now fully realizing the hopes and anticipations which, amidst early disappoint- ment, they yet ventured to entertain. Under the manage- ment of the Rev. James Francis it has met with continued success; and the fact that it has so soon become entirely self- supporting, is not only gratifying, insomuch as it releases the Board from all further pecuniary responsibility, but also as it testifies at once to the former want of such an institution, whiie it stamps the present attempt as a successful effort to meet and to relieve it. The building alluded to in our last report, as so important to the interests and permanence of the establishment is now completed, and has been occupied by the Master for the pur- poses of the School since the last Midsummer vacation. These advantages have been secured without any heavy pressure on our finances, through the kind assistance of the Lord Dishop, the Lord-Lieutenant, and those gentlemen who have advanced a large portion of the necessary funds as a loan (without interert), to be gradually repaid by successive instaline.ts of X.-)O per annum. In the Traifiing department some progress continues to be made, but as the situations annually open to Masters and Mistresses within the county are so few, it has not been deemed expedient to admit any large number of persons into our institution; at the sauie time, during the last year, how- ever, five male and four female scholars have been received, while Masters have been supplied to Christchurch, Kent- church, and Grosmont, and Mistresses to Machen and Nantyglo. The Board still continues its connexion with the Newport National School, for without the kind co-operation of the Committee of that institution they would have no Model School, and therefore no opportunity of giving the training scholars a practical insiglit into the working of the National System of Education. They regret, however, to add, that from financial circumstances, which will be more distinctly alluded to hereafter, they have (though roiuctantly) been obliged to reduce their contribution to that institution, which is alike important to the interests of the Board as to the town in which it is established. The Board has received during tho past year but three applications for assistance towards buiidicg New School Rooms, and in each case, however, a grant has been imme- diately made, upon the coneition (to which it has been de- termined invariably to adhere), viz., that "every school receiving such assistance, shall be first placed in union and connexion with the National Society." It is gratifying to state, that the first school room to'which the Board con- tributed, that of Tredegar, intended originally merely for a Sunday, has since been converted into a daily school, an extension of good which we may hope to see followed in other cases, where, as here, a room being provided, even a small certain payment may induce some qualified and respectable female to undertake the situation of Mistress, with the rea- sonable expectation of deriving a sufficient maintenance from the accession of independent scholars. In concluding the detail of their proceedings during the past year, the Committee would express their thankfulness for that measure of success which has been vouchsafed to them; but they regret to add that a serious defalcation has taken place in the amount of subscriptions, which must ne- cessarily impede their future operations and hunt their means of usefulness, since many subscribers have altogether with- drawn, while others have reduced the amount of their con- tributions. Your Committee are, however, still unwilling to believe that the interest felt in the objects they have in view can bave diminished, or that their importance is less fully appreciated.

INCENDIARY Firr-On Wednesday se'nnight, between 9 and 10 o'clock, afire broke out at Cutbush-farm, Shinfield, occupied by Mr. Slaughter. It appears that as Mrs. Slaughter was shutting the window-shutters of the dwelling- house, she perceived a light near the end of the barn, and immediately gave the alarm to lier family. On proceeding to the spot it was found that the stable at one end of the baru and farm buildings was in flames, and simultaneously with this discoveiy dames were seen at the eastern extremity of the rang-e ot buildings, a distance of 90 feet from the stable, thus proving, beyond the possibility of doubt, that an incen- diary had set fire to the premises in two places at the same time. The damage is estimated at rather less than £ 300, and part, namely, the fanning stocky iasured in thel'liwuix I'U'v-vliiw,
R THE NEW TURNPIKE BILL.—
R THE NEW TURNPIKE BILL. — To the Editor of the Advertiser and Guardian. SIR,—Tte Bill which was brought into the House of Commons during the last Session of Parliament for the ^meiidmant of the Laws relating to Turnpike Roads having caused nif ch alarm among the creditors of the different das* tricts in this county and, I believe, generally throughdul. the kingdom, as the measure then proposed was calculated Aery seriously to reduce Che value of their sureties, it will,. I nave no doubt, be satisfactory to the creditors to be informed that the Bill which has been brought .in during the present Session contains no provision with reference to the securities in question, nor any other of which the creditors have any cause to complain. A print of the Bill has, by the kind attention of Lord Adarg, been sent to the clerk of the district in which I reside, and, probably, to the clerks of the other districts also, so that the creditors may readily ascertain the alterations which it is proposed to make in the law. I am, Your obedient Servant, L. .# To the Editor of the Advertiser and Guardian. SIR,-Being always interested in whatever may appear iA ytfur excellent journal anywise relating to the manufacture of bar iron, my attention was irresistibly drawn to a portion of the correspondence in your last, bearing the unusual Sough to me, familiar sounding cognomen of An Old »ller;" and from the novelty of which, I conclude it to be a haiPY omen, when the march of intellect" has made such rapid strides into society, that rollers,' whether old or young should lay aside the tongs, and commence wielding, the pen in lauding the operations of his employers. -In reference to the subject, I find on perusing it, to con- sist of a ltttle enviable difference about the rolling of two bars of iron, at. tb6 respective works of Dowlais and- Cyfarthfa. Now as I am situated in a quiet spot, midway from each of those great rival establishments, with your per-, mission, I trust, I may be allowed (impartially of course), 10, set the matter in its proper light, bearing in mind the motto of your paper, which 11 An Old Roller" should have done lifiewise, viz., The truth against the world." Having seen both the bars in question for the information of your readers, I will render them a true statement of the weight, dimensions, and illustration of each:-The weight of the pile for the Dowlais bar was 3180lbs., when after being heated, hammered, and rolled, it produced a round bar of81 inches diameter, 14 feet long, and weighing, when finished kbout 25941bs., with a slight curvature thus it bling a stupendous mass of iron in a single bar. The weight of the pile for the Cyfarthfa bar was 264Olbs. j when after the process of beating and rolling, it produced a bar nearly rouud of 6 inches diameter, 24 feet in length, weigh- ing when finished about 21901bs., and shaped thus s. which may readily be seen to be as crooked as the repor t given of it by An Old Roller;" moreover, it occupied, 25 forge-smiths sledging at it until Sunday morning to bring it to a decent saleable form at last it resembled Paddy's gun for shooting around the comers," which was anyt4ing but as "straight as a line." In alluding to the comparative difficulty in rqliing TSbose bars, such is the facility with which the Dowlais Company manufactures 6 inch bolts, they last week executed an order of upwards of 30 tons, all varying from 15 to 18 feet in length it is also a common occurrence in works of less mag- nitude than Dowlais or Cyfarthfa. I shall now leave it to your leaders to judge how strictly An Old Roller" has confined himself to facts, and whether fit or not the Cyfarthfa people may not also vie with their neighbours in throwing the sledge," as well as manufac- turing large bars. Craving your indulgence, I remain, Sir, Yours very respectfully, A PENYDARRAN OPERATIVE. Penydarran, March 15, 1843. SOUTH WALES BASIN—PRACTICAL MINING. To the Editor of tlte Mining Journal. SIR,—I should think, by this time, Messrs. Deakin and Thompson must have convinced your correspondent, "J. S. i)., with all his scientific acquirements, which no one has yet questioned—whether geographical, mineralogical, or geological—that the practical miner has a right to ap- proach the threshhold of natural science; and, though surrounded with phenomena of constant occurrence, until Nature has changed her mode of acting, they need not mis- trust, or undervalue, the result of their own experience, in the development of underground operations; and I should hope, in future, your Oxford correspondent will display a. little more liberality, than allow them to arrive at a certain amount of knowledge, and then disdainfully tell them it is bounded by their native hills. As one of this mountain race I feel obliged to him for his compliment; but should you suppose, Mr. Editor, there is nothing amongst these hills which calls for scientific research1? I believe the South Wales mineral basin presents a most striking feature, both to men of theory as well as practice; mountain after mountain, in succession, beautifully arranged, intersected with deep and interesting valleys, inlets to those vast sources of minerals in which they abound-a description of which would serve to strengthen the opinion entertained by most of your practical coirespondents, on the formation of minerals. By examining these valleys to a certain depth, we find the upper strata, and some of the mineral beds, have been laid bare by the Deluge, but strong enough, in those primitive ages, to resist the violence of the retiring element; trace them to the sides of the mountain/there is to be found the overlying strata taking its regular position, and rocks to an amazing thickness, producing materials for the erection of the works; through most of these valleys now the dimpling streams, often increased by the mountain torrent, and, in their progress, set in motion the ponderous ma- chinery which finishes and prepares for the use assigned them, the produce of this vast mineral deposit.

WESTIN DIES.It is a remarkable circumstance that about 48 hours preceding the appalling earthquake which visited Guadaloupe and other TV est India islands adjoining, a terrific hurricane suddenly broke out in the British channel, which lasted several hours, and which extended over a very consi- derable space, both of sea and land. There was also a verv sudaen and heavy fall of snow, which happened about the same time, in England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Holland, &c. Rapid changes of the meteorological instruments were also observed, simultaneously, in various parts of the countrv, accompanied with extraordinary variations of the tempera- ture. These phenomena were generally noticed at the time. From the commencement of the year various extraordinary meteorological appearances have prevailed, among which not the least was an eruption of Mount Etna, which occurred in January. EARTHQUAKE IN LANCASHIRE.—We learn that a slight shock of an earthquake was experienced about 20 minutes past 8 o'clock, on Friday morning last, through a consider- able part of the district to the north-eastward of Manchester. This convulsion was indicated by a rumbling sound and a. rather sudden shock, which induced many persons to think that some very heavy body had been suddenly thrown down in their houses. Its centre appears to have been in the chain of hills that separate Yorkshire and Lancashire and it was more particularly felt about Rochdale, and in the Todmorden valley, where in some cases it caused considerable alarm. TV e have not heard of its having been perceived in the town of Manchester but it was felt by several families living in the immediate neighbourhood, and more particularly at Cheetham-hill. This shock forms the third that has been experienced during a few years past, apparently having about the same range; but the two former (one of which took place on the 23th of August, 1835, and the other on the 11th of June, 1839), were considerably more violent than the one on Friday morning. In Liverpool and its neighbourhood the shock was sensibly felt. Persons were awakened out of their sleep by the shaking of their houses and beds. So violent was the shock in Castle-street, that one tradesman jumped out of his bed and ran into his children's room to see if they were all safe. The earthquake was felt on both sides of the Mersey. It is with much pleasure we announce that, by a recent order in Council, the privileges of granting free pratique, under medical certificate, to all vessels coming from unsus- pected ports in the Mediterranean with clean bills of.healrfi* have been extended to Penzance. The selection of this port, situated at the very extremity where both channels unite, is a very judicious one, and highly advantageous to the shipping interest generally.
