Tub greatest present benefit, and the greatest fu- 

 ture advantages to those who attain the average duration 

 of Life are secured to the Assured in this Office, a combination 

 of advantagespresented by no other in London. 



This Society is strictly a Mutual Assurance Society. 



The principle adopted in the distribution of trie profits is pe- 

 culiar to this Office, and is at once safe, equitable, and favour- 

 able to good lives. The surplus is reserved for those Members 

 who survive the period at which their premiums, with accumu- 

 lated interest at 5 per cent., shall amount to the sums assured, 

 and may be received in cash, or applied in the reduction of the 

 future premiums, or to the increase of the sum assured. 



An ample Guarantee is secured by a temporary subscribed 

 Capital to be paid oft' as soon as it may be deemed expedient. 



The Premiums are deduced from the Government experience, 

 •nd are accurately adjusted to the several ages. At early and 

 middle life they are about 07ie-fourth lower than at most other 

 offices. 



All the objects of Life Assurance may be effectually accom- 

 plished at this Office, and generally the Directors are prepared 

 to receive proposals of any description involving the contin- 

 gency of human life. 



More fully to extend the advantages of the Society.it is de- 

 termined to establis.li Local Boards throughout the Kingdom.

The more than usual success which has attended this Com- 

 pany has arisen— 



From the combination of advantages formerly obtainable 

 partly from proprietary and partly from mutual societies, 

 thereby affording to the assured bonuses, reduction of future 

 premiums, and complete freedom from responsibility. 



From the indisputability of the policies, leave to travel 

 oeyona Europe, the option of payment of one- half the pre- 

 miums for the first years, and immediate settlement of claims.

- 1 - ROWLAND & SON, 20, Hatton Garden, London.— 

 " Percy Place, Landport, Portsmouth, April 4, Y&U. Gkntlk- 

 mev, — I think it but an act of justice to inform you of the 

 benefit I have derived from the use of your admirable Macassar 

 Oil. About six months ago I found my hair getting daily more 

 weak and thin, and much discoloured from a practice I had 

 adopted of wetting it continually; fearing that I should 

 lose it entirely, and hearing of the efficacy of your Macassar 

 Oil, I have for some time past constantly used it, and the 

 result is, that my hair is now perfectly restored and much 

 improved in appearance and colour, having become thick t 

 dark and glossy j it also curls freely without the use of 

 paper, which it never did before. To all my friends I have 

 warmly recommended your Macassar Oil as an excellent resto- 

 rative and preservative for the Hair. As I have an objection to 

 see my name in print, I beg you will not publish it ; but you 

 are at liberty to show this letter, or make any other use you 

 please of it, and refer applicants to me if necessary, in proof of 

 the efficacy of your Macassar Oil. Your Obt. Servant *'* 



ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL preserves and reproduces the 

 Hair; prevents it from falling off or turning Gray ; changes 

 Gray Hair to its original colour; frees it from Scurf and Dan- 

 driff, and makes it beautifully soft and curly.

 are Fraudulent Counterfeits.

ments of Abd-el-Kader, but his expulsion from the 

 territory of Morocco is one of the chief points stipulated 

 by the treaty. The departure of the King on a visit 

 to this country is fixed for the 7th of next month, and 

 preparations are actively in progress for the equipment of a 

 steam squadron under Admiral La Susse to form the Royal 

 escort. The state of Ireland is almost as much discussed 

 by the Paris papers as the affairs of Morocco or Tahiti, 

 The proceedings of Mr. O'Connell are of course com- 

 mended by the Opposition journals, and the Ministerial 

 organs consider that the time has come when the Go- 

 vernment must either make great concessions, or obtain 

 more extended powers than the law at present allows, 

 for the purpose of suppressing the Repeal movement. 

 —In Germany the result of the Appeal to the House of 

 Lords is a leading topic of discussion, and the news of 

 Mr. O'Connell's release has been welcomed in many of 

 the provincial cities with public rejoicings — From 

 Greece we learn that dissension and intrigues have begun 

 to 6how themselves in the new Cabinet of M. ColettL 

 Party feeling has assumed so serious a character that 

 public business is almost suspended ; and it is even ex- 

 pected that the protecting Powers will be obliged to 

 interfere to save the country from anarchy. — From the 

 Levant we have accounts of the negotiations between the 

 Porte and the Ambassadors of the Five Powers on the 

 affairs of the Lebanon, by which the arrangement of 

 1842 is confirmed, in accordance with the views of 

 England, Russia, and Prussia. The Pacha of Egypt 

 has entirely recovered from his late indisposition, 

 and is about to undertake a hostile expedition against 

 Abyssinia.— From the United States we learn that Mr. 

 Tyler has withdrawn his name as a candidate for the Pre- 

 sidency, and that Mr. Clay will probably be returned by a 

 large majority. In Canada, Sir C. Metcalfe has at length 

 succeeded in forming a Ministry, comprising, it is said, 

 most of the moderate men in the colony, whose influence 

 and talents entitle them to confidence. 



At home, the proceedings of the Repeal Association 

 are the chief topic of the day. The rumonr that the 

 Whigs have made overtures of support to Mr. O'Con- 

 nell, provided he will be content with a federal Parlia- 

 ment, is confirmed by the Repeal papers, and Mr 

 O'Connell has declared his readiness to accept federalism 

 as an experiment. The form of Government which is to 

 supplant that under which the Irish now live is also 

 under discussion ; and the Association has offered prizes 

 for written Essays on the question how far the consti- 

 tution of Norway and its connection with Sweden may 

 serve as a model for the new constitution of Ireland.

The important announcement of the termination 

 of hostilities between France and Morocco and the 

 evacuation of the island of Mogadore is another 

 guarantee for the peace of Europe. The Emperor, 

 it appears, alarmed by the re-appearance of the 

 squadron before Tangiers, despatched the Governor 

 of that city to sue for peace. The conditions already 

 proposed by France before the commencement of hostili- 

 ties were again offered and accepted, and the treaty 

 signed. The French flag was saluted by the cannon of 

 the Moorish garrison, and the French Government, on 

 receiving tidings of the event, welcomed it by a salute 

 from the cinnon of the Invalides at Paris. The Oppo- 

 sition papers, however, are by no means satisfied with the 

 result ; they contend that the moderation of the Govern- 

 ment in limiting their demands to the terms of their 

 former ultimatum, and their neglect of the usual con- 

 ditions for the re-payment of expenses, are disgraceful 

 to France, and additional proofs of her subserviency to 

 Great Britain. Nothing certain is known of the niove-

Her Majesty's Visit to Scotland.— Her Majesty 

 arrived at Blair Atholl Castle soon after 3 on Wednesday, 

 escorted by Lord Glenlyon and a body-guard of High- 

 landers. On arriving at the mansion Her Majesty was 

 received by Lady Glenlyon, accompanied by the young 

 Master of Glenlyon and Mrs. Home Drummond, her 

 Ladyship's mother. Four companies of 40 each, con- 

 sisting of his Lordship's clansmen, attired in the High- 

 land dress, were drawn up by the side of the portico, the 

 pipers, in full Highland costume, greeting Her Majesty 

 with the pibroch. The clansmen were commanded by 

 Lord Glenlyon, assisted by the Major of the corps, the 

 Hon. James Murray. The first company was com- 

 manded by Capt. Drummond, with his Lieutenant, the 

 Hon. W. Drummond ; the second, by Capt. Charles 

 Drummond, with his Lieutenant, Sir David Dundas; the 

 third, by Oswald of Dunnikier, with his Lieutenant, Kiec 

 of Kindroggan ; the fourth, by Stewart of Urrat, with 

 his Lieutenant, Butter of Fascaly, the owner of the 

 magnificent mansion which is situated in one of the most 

 picturesque spots in Scotland, just before entering the 

 pass of Killiecrankie. Her Majesty appeared much 

 pleased with the manifestations of loyalty with which she 

 was greeted, and, after addressing a few remarks to Lady 

 Glenlyon, entered the mansion, accompanied by Prince 

 Albert. Within a few minutes, however after the arrival 

 of the Royal party, the Prince appeared in front of the 

 mansion, 'accompanied by his noble host, Lord Aberdeen, 

 Lord Liverpool, and Lord Charles ^ ellesley. His Royal 

 Highness inspected the Highlanders, keeping his hat off 

 as he walked through the ranks, a mark of courtesy which 

 evidently afforded them no small gratification. The 

 clansmen then marched round before the Prince, headed 

 by the pipers playing the pibroch, whilst Her Majesty 

 appeared at the window, and seemed much delighted at 

 their picturesque appearance. Her Majesty did not 

 leave the Castle after her arrival, but retired at once 

 to her apartments, and dined in private with the Prince, 

 as it was considered advisable that Her Majesty should 

 enjoy some repose after the very great fatigue whicti 

 she has recently undergone. Prince Albert, however, 

 walked about the grounds and explored some ot toe pre- 

 cincts of the Castle. As evening closed in, la rgeDon- 

 fires were lighted on the surrounding niiw , a 

 rocky sides and steep acclivities of ^^JSd 

 with flame. On Thursday Prince Albert acco * 

 Her Majesty in a walk through the ground e. rij « 

 seven o'clock. In the course of the day n . j j
