See, As the purchasing of these articles, of the best fabric, and on the lowest terms, is always considered as a matter of importance, T.

Among his selection are T-oand 4-4 Colerain and other Irish Linens, purchased for cash at least 6d. per yard under their value. The very best make of Lancashire Drog- heda and Irish Sheeting at reduced prices. A variety of Counterpanes remarkably cheap. Printed Furnitures from 15d. per yard. T.

IN this Office, all the Premium is returned to the Insured, except what is wanted to defray the losses. The number of persons combined amounts to 20,000; and the property insured to many millions. But the most decide Q. proof of the universal preference which this Establishment meets with, is the fact, that no less than 5000 new Policies are issued every year-an increase far exceeding that of anil other Institution in the Empire. The returns are made to each member at the expiration of seven years frooi the commence- ment of his insurance, by which means the office always re- tains an ample capital, which has been found so much more than sufficient to meet thflftffxpenditure, that dividends of £ 50 per Cent, and upwards fave been made to all whose period of repayments has arriveU- FATOtfG STOCK Insured at. the reduced rate of 2s. per cent. without sub- jecting the party to an average clause.

The advantages of Life Insurance are too numerous to be coiwjresled within the limits of a few sentences; but the gre3f%rfUty of it will be in some degree illustrated by a single example. A person 28 years of age may, by an annual payment of £ 2. 6s. 8d. insure £ \QO, payable to his executors at his de- cease or for -023 6s. 8d. may insure £1000, and thus, at a .moderate yearly expense, secure his family from distress. THE RATES OF THIS OFFICE ARE NEARLY £10 PER CENT. LOWER THAN THOSE OF OTHERS. The profits made by the Institution are divided amongst the insurers, at stated periods, by additions to the sums to which their policies entitled them. No charge is made for entrance money, for non-appearance at the chief office, for policies, or for neglect of paying the an- nual premiums in due time, (except the mere interest lost by the delay.) the delay.) The office makes a liberal allowance for the policies, if the insured cannot continue to pay the premium. So universal is the preference given to this Institution, that its funds are increasing at the rate of X20 000 per an- num, and it already ranks among the first Establishments^ the Empire.—(One Concern.), Agent for Carmarthen .Mr. J.

Mrs.-Vicary, of West Buckland, near Barnstaple, Devon, was for three years afflicted with four sero- phulous wounds in her throat: deprived of rest, and unable to obtain relief, she was advised to ha.\e recourse to Roberts's Medicated Vegetable Water, and by taking about half a dozen of the small bottles is now perfectly cured.—Her sister, who had an ulcerated sore leg during nineteen years, was also completely restored by the use of four small bottles.—This celebrated restorative in cases of cancer, serophula, leprosy, scurvy, ulce- rated sore legs, scald head, flushings, pimpled faces, &c. is prepared and sold by Daniel Roberts, Pains- wick, Gloucestershire, in half-pint bottles, at 6s. each, and in large bottles, containing five half- pints, at 22s. each, duty included, with cases of cancer, &c. and directions, signed by the Propri- etors sold also by J.

A few weeks since a fellow, who had enlisted in the Marines at Portsmouth, and received his full bounty, was discovered to have a very had leg in three or four days after; and it turned out that lie had contrived to cause the leg to be in that desperate st:itf- himself, with the view of defrauding the Officer of the bounty mo- ney for it was proved by his wife and others, that he made an incision in the flesh just upon the shin-bone, and put a copper hnitpenny on the wound, which al- .most, immediately caused a very severe gangrene. But I cl he ultimately paid most dearly for his speculation, as a mortification having ensued, to save his life the sur- geons were under the necessity of cutting off the leg. It is worthy of remark, that our present Sovereign has reigned as a man, longer than any Monarch who ever swayed the English Sceptre for though Henry HI. reigned six years, and Edward III. six months longer, they both came to the Throne boys one being scarce- ly ten years old, and the other fourteen. A singular instance of good fortune has happened to two individuals of Hartbury, Glocestershire: A carter, in the service of Mr. Moody a respectable farmer of that place, and his friend, a shoemaker, went to Glo- cester on Monday, the 15th inst. the former to pbre a trifling sum (the fruits of his industry) in the hands of James Wood, Esq. banker, who prevailed on them to purchase a sixteenth share in the Lottery, to he drawn on the following Friday.

DREADFUL EARTHQUAKE, &c. AT…
DREADFUL EARTHQUAKE, &c. AT ST. MICHAEL'S. The following is an Extract of a Lettef from a Gen- tleman at the above Island, addressed to a respectable mercantile house in the City. St. Michael (Azores), August 24. One of those dreadful pi-,enoti,,t--ra tiever,itnessed in your country has plunged many here in unspeaka- ble wretchedness and affliction, and continues to occa- sion great terror to all the inhabitants of this island. j On the nth of August, at ten p. m, slight shocks of an ] earthquake were felt at intervals of a few minutes for four hours. During this time the inhabitants, under the influence of alarm for their personal safety, as well as property, were running to and fro in the greatest distress. Between two and three a dreadful rocking. was experienced throughout the whole island several houses, unable to resist its violence, were thrown down, and many others were greatly dererionted and such persons as sought safety in the open air were dashed to the ground. Hitherto the calamity had been confined in its effects, and though great injury had been sustained, we had to congratulate ourselves on the lo: s of few lives: but we were yet to witness a most dreadful specLcle. On the rath at mid day, a hollow rumbling sound was heard, the clouds gathered, and the wind was hushed into si- lence, the rocking returned, and in a few minutes after., the village of Gozis, situated on a plain, comprizing 22 houses, was swallowed up, and in the spot where it stood a lake of boiling water gushed forth. Mafiv ot the unfortunate inhabitants, who had previously re- tired to the elevated ground, beheld the sight with a degree of horror and amazement which enchained all their faculties, their whole property swept awav in a few minutes, and in the place where there once beau- tiful gardens and flourishing orchards stood, nought now appeared but a vast expanse of water 1 About 32 persons, it is calculated, have lost their lives by this awful and calamitous event, and cattle and property to a considerable amount destroyed. A great degree of alarm continues to pervade the whole island, as on the east side an orifice has been discovered, resembling the crater of a volcano. FASHIONS FOR NOVEMBER.

Bon Mot of Dr. Rose.It was an annual custom with Dr. ohnson's bookseller, to invite the authors to difte with hiin and it was upon this occasion that Dr. Johnson and Dr. Rose of Chiswick, met, when the fol- lowing dispute happened between them, on the pTe- eminence of the Scotch and English writers.—In th? course of conversation, Dr. WarburtQn'name was mentioned, when Dr. Rose observed, what a proud im- perious person he was! Dr. Johnson answered—41 Sir, so he was; but he possessed more learning than has been imported from Scotland since the days of Bucha- nan." Dr.JR.ose, after enumerating a great many Scotch authors, which Johnson treated with contempt, said, "What think you of David Sir! he! a deistical scribbling fellow." Weil, be it so; but what say you to Lord Bute ?" Johnson, witii a surly wow, wow- I did not know that JNC ever wrote any thing." Rose—" No I t iink t e has written one line that has outdone any thing t$™P»hyke- speare, or Milton, or any one else ever wrc) Johw- son—"Pray what was tiiat, Sir. It -vas when he wrote an order for your pension, Sir," John- son, quite confounded, replied Why tlkit was a very fine iine, to he sure, Sir," Hospitality of a Highlander.An extraönfrnarv, in, stance of fidelity occurred in the course of the miscC rable rambles of the Pretender. A poor cottager of$ the name of M;Ian, who was upon principle hostile to his cause, and who, on account of a sever season, was,; with his family, in a state of sta! v-.tion, received tb, wretched wanderer, and, at the hazard of his life, committed depredations to procure ni-n sustenance, when an immense reward lay within his reach, and w rh powerful temptation invited iiiin to surrender up his guest. Th; fate of this generous being was as singu- lar as his conduct to the prince. In a se son or gi at scarcity, he stole a cow, to save his 'family from dyirtg of hunger, for which he was tried, convicted,.and tse- cuted. A lit tle before his execution he took off his bonnet, and thanked God he had never nettled his trust, n'ever injured the pJor, and never it fused sh ..re of what he had to the stranger.
