The gamester and slave-dealer exchanged glances at Mrs. Danton'a reasons for nut let- ting the slaves go, and her husband suid :

* It can't be helped now, Mary ; let us go to cur rvom.’’

Liverpool and London FIRE AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY. TPYHE Agent for the above first class

English Fire Insnrance Company begs to cal] the attention of the public to the advantages offered by this Company, in respect to the security to the assured, and proimptnessio pay losses. which, with- out pak ye Wy other Companies, may be safely usserted to be superior to those afforded by any other Company in the Island. The Liverpool aud London F.& L. Iisarance Company bas been in successful operation since 1836, with ayencies all over the world, and bas paid in losses about two millions and a quarter sterling. Its subscribed ca pital is £2,000,000 sterling, and its invested funds alone amount to £1,312,000 ste ; and the fire pre- injums for 186) amount to £360,130 19s $d; and in addition to this very large expital, the Company, having Leen established before the recent Limited Liability Act, the individual fortunes of each of the shareholders, comprising some of the wealthiest merchants in Liverpool and Londen, are liable for the losses, should the whole of the capital be swept away. Iu this respect it differs, itis believed, from any other Company established here.

And lastly, the Agent being appointed by Power of Attorney directly from England, is authorized to draw Bills the moment a loss occurs, and without referring to the Home Company, to the extent of oue thousand pounds sterling.

With these superior advantages, the Company is not disposed (though it might be well justified) to ask a higher rate of premium than other English Companies, which do not present the same advan- tayeons features, and the Agent has been advised that an uniform rute has been agreed upon by the Directors of this Company and the “ Queen,” and that the Agents bere sliould, in this respect, “act in consort.” W.

[Extracrs Fkom Newsparers.]

On reference to a return made to Parliament. and ordered by the House of Commons to be printed, 7th June, 1861, it will be seen thatthe increase of Duty for the year, ee by the “ QUEEN,” was £2567, being or s of £1000 more than paid by any other office ever yet estublished in this City.

[From Gore's General Advertiser, Oct. 24, 1861.] “‘ Indeed, we believe that we are perfectly justi- fied in suying that no other Company, within the same period, ever attained so large an income in either the Fire or Life Departments as the Queen Tusurance Company. In making this statement,we muke no exception even in favor of our older local companies, namely, the Liverpool and London, the Royal, and the Lancashire Insurance Companies.”

HEADS OF FAMILIES, p° you, when observing the uneasy

Hunnewell’s Great Remedies.

Hunnewell’s Eclectic Pills,—THE TRUE FORM OF A CATHARKTIC.—By the application of true Medical Laws, both character and economy are combined in this wust valuable Pill. To pre- vent putting iuto the stomach such quantities of iudigestible and injurious drugs usually contained in Pills that require from four to six to get a decent cathartic, and to prevent the Griping Pains 30 erroneously judged to be evidence of character, was the study in this development. The dose seldom exceeding one and never more than two Pills, setiles the question of economy, and confidence is asked to test their true character in Dyspepsia, Costiveness, Bxciowsness, Liver Complaints, Piles, ail derangements of the Stomach and Bowels, and a3 a true Fawily Pill. For Worms they are a sure cure.

Hunnewell’s Universal Cough Remedy. —The basis of this truly wondertul preparation, now of such well-earned celebrity, is a freedom from every component calculated to debilitate, and by such to allow the greatest freedom of use, day or night, as the only true theory by which Throat and Lung Complaints can be effectually cured.

Te prevent asking attention to long stories of great cures, when local causes make almost all such complaints different in effect, I would ask coufidence which will be sacred, in Colds, Coughs, Hoarseness, Sore Thoat, Bronchial and Asthmatic Complaints, Whooping Cough, and to all Throat and Lung Complaints, which, when neglected, end in Con- sumption. Testimonials from Physicians of the highest respectability, and from invalids, can be seen at my office by all interested.

Hunnewell's Tolu Anodyne.—This justly celebrated preparation, which has so truly earned the name and fame of a True Anodyne by results which had baffled every other attempt at cure or relief in Neuralgia, Gout, Nervous Headache, Tooth and Ear Ache, Cholera Morbus, Pains in the Stomach or Bowels, Hysteria, Distress after Eating, Loss of Sleep, General Nervous Debility, Paroxyws in Asthma and Whooping Cough, now declared to be largely nervous, and the pains in Monthly Men- struation, also declared to be one of the most important pvints in medicine. A lady writes from New York, ** were it ten dollars a drop, 1 would not be without itin my family, and not one should be witbout it.”’
