TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST-INDIA STOCK. Ladies and Gentlemen,

Taking into consideration that Mr. Mangles entered the field before me, and had, previous to the commencement of my canvass, secured the support of many of my powerful friends, who are now at liberty to give me their assis tance, I feel justified in announcing to you that I entertain the most confident hopes of success.

Anxious to devote my best energies to the service of India, I aspire to a share in the administration of your affairs, as affording an honourable field of usefulness in the advancement of measures calculated to benefit our native fellowsubjects, by elevating their character, by ameliorating their institutions, and by promoting their moral and social improvement. I avail myself of this opportunity to express my grateful thanks to those friends who have so warmly supported me, and I have the honour to be, with great respect, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your faithful and obliged servant, WM.

PEOPLE of CHINA, and on the CHINESE LANGUAGE. trated with a Sketch of the Province of Kwang-Tung, shewing its division into Departments and Districts.

By THOMAS TAYLOR MEADOWS, Interpreter to Her Britannic Majesty's Consulate at Canton.

"In these Desultory Notes, Mr. Meadows earnestly, ably, and successfully seeks to correct the information which has been placed before England, and Europeans generally, respecting China. He shews that limited knowledge of the Chinese language, and still more circumscribed knowledge of the customs and institutions of China, have led to fixed notions of the Chinese, which, in all reflecting minds, have ever appeared extraordinary, and which such conclusive information, as contained in this valuable volume, must go far to rectify. Independently of the excellent style in which it is printed, it is illustrated with singular beauty. The costumes of several of the orders of mandarins are given, lithographed from the Chinese, with remarkable richness and finish. So splendid are the colours, that they have more the appearance of the illuminations of missals, than of lithographs of Chinese paintings. There are also specimens of Chinese characters, with keys, &c. The work cannot fail to be as useful as it is indisputably interesting and elegant."-Morning Advertiser, April 29, 1847.

HE ATLAS FOR INDIA.-The object of this publi cation, which is issued on the 7th and 24th of every month, is to give, in a condensed form, the news of the preceding fortnight, up to the hour of the mail's departure, collected and arranged with especial reference to the requirements of the Indian public. Whilst matter not affecting the interests of, or calculated in any manner to entertain the Indian reader, is scrupulously excluded, the utmost pains are taken to obtain from every possible sourceoften from original and exclusive sources-information of peculiar interest to residents in the Indian presidencies, Ceylon, China, and the Straits. The better to secure the accomplishment of this desirable end, and to render the publication in every respect what it professes to be, an ATLAS FOR INDIA, the management has been placed in the hands of a gentleman recently editor of one of the leading daily journals of Calcutta.

The ATLAS FOR INDIA is not a mere reproduction of the principal contents of the weekly paper, but is in a great measure written expressly for Indian circulation. It contains a compendious narrative of the principal domestic and foreign events of the fortnight; military and commercial intelligence; literary and social chit-chat; items of personal news, &c. &c. Every number embraces a general summary of the news of the past fortnight, written expressly for this journal, regard being had to the relative importance and interest of the different events touched upon, in the eyes of the AngloIndian reader. It is the endeavour of the conductor of the ATLAS FOR INDIA, not only to give a condensed historical narrative of political events, but to catch the tone and temper of the times, and embody in the pages of this journal all that lighter fabric of social and literary intelligence, past, present, and prospective, which, in this age of progress, is so abundant in every great European metropolis.

Atlas Office, 6, Southampton-street, Strand. To be had of all News-agents. The next ATLAS FOR INDIA will be published to-morrow, Friday, May 7th.

FRIENDS AND CORRESPONDENTS IN INDIA.

THE very great importance to the community of British

India of a Newspaper of a comprehensive nature, embracing the whole of the European intelligence of each fortnight, succinctly given and carefully arranged, has induced the proprietors of

THE MONTHLY TIMES

to make such arrangements as may render that Journal in every respect adapted to the purpose in view.

The MONTHLY TIMES is now in the sixth year of its existence, and is admitted to be, by its numerous patrons and subscribers, unrivalled for the accuracy and completeness of its intelligence. For the sum of ONE POUND STERLING per annum it is sent to all parts of India, China, the Straits of Malacca, Ceylon, the Australian, Tasmanian, West-Indian, and Canadian Colonies, Mauritius, Egypt, and all parts of the Mediterranean.

It is the wish of the proprietors that the MONTHLY TIMES should be acceptable to all classes of readers; and with this view its contents are varied so as to include every thing of interest to the soldier, the civilian, the clergyman, the lawyer, and the merchant.

Parties desirous of sending their friends an agreeable and useful gift, can order the MONTHLY TIMES of Messrs. SMITH, ELDER, and Co., 65, Cornhill; Mr. RICHARDSON, 23, Cornhill; Messrs. WM. H. ALLEN and Co., 7, Leadenhall Street; or of any respectable Newsvender.

NDIA. The Lady of a Medical Practitioner, residing in a healthy situation, in the immediate vicinity of the Parks, would be happy to take charge of TWO LITTLE GIRLS whose parents are abroad, and to have them educated at home in a superior manner with her own children. The parties being in independent circumstances, the children would mix with unexceptionable society, and have the benefit of carriage exercise, as well as experiencing the same maternal and medical care as is enjoyed by the Advertiser's own family, for the Lady being extremely fond of children would spare no trouble nor expense in their health, education, and personal comforts. Terms for board, education, medical attendance, clothing, and every other requisite that a parent would supply, 400 guineas per annum for both children, and references of undoubted respectability would be given and required. Apply by letter to A. B. C., Mr. EDGAR'S, 63, Lamb's Conduit Street, Foundling Hospital.

In accordance with the proposition passed at the meeting held in Calcutta this day, 28th January, 1847, the Directors beg to annex the following Abstract of the Accounts for the past year, from which it will be seen that the Fund is not in the position to justify any hope that a larger scale of contribution than at present exists will not be necessary. Mr. DAVIES'S and Mr. CURNIN'S Reports on the state of the Fund are so opposed to each other, that the Directors have considered it advisable, for the interests of the Institution, to engage the services of a third professional Actuary, in order to remove all existing doubts as to the state of the Fund; but they have no reason to indulge the expectation that the result will be otherwise than confirmatory of Mr. DAVIES'S Report, in preference to Mr. CURNIN'S.

The excess of Receipts over Disbursements on the 31st December, 1846, of Co.'s Rs. 2,02,420-4-3, will be considerably reduced, if not wholly absorbed, by the payment of all liabilities in Europe, from the 30th September, 1845, to 31st December, 1846,-a circumstance which shews the Fund to have arrived at that point which appears to require an increase of assets to meet its increased liabilities.

It will not fail to be observed, that the Receipts in India for the past year are considerably less than in former years, while some items of the Disbursements are considerably larger.

TO CONTINENTAL TOURISTS.

HE NEW TOOTH BRUSH, made on most

Tentine principle, thoroughly cleaning between the teeth when umat

and down, and polishing the surface when used crossways. This brush so entirely enters between the closest teeth, that the inventors have decided upon naming it the Toothpick Brush, therefore ask for it under that name, marked and numbered as under, viz. full-sized brushes, marked T.P.W., No. 1, hard; No. 2, less hard; No. 3, middling; No. 4, soft; the narrow brushes, marked T.P.N., No. 5, hard; No. 6, less hard; No. 7, middling; No. 8, soft. These inimitable brushes are only to be had at Ross and SONS', and they warrant the hair never to come out, at 1s. each, or 10s. per doz. in bone; or 2s, each, or 20s. per doz. in ivory.-The ATRAPILATORY, or LIQUID HAIR DYE; the only dye that really answers for all colours, and does not require re-doing but as the hair grows, as it never fades or acquires that unnatural red or purple tint common to all other dyes. Ross and SONS can, with the greatest confidence, recommend the above dye as infallible, if done at their establishment; and ladies or gentlemen requiring it, are requested to bring a friend or servant with them, to see how it is used, which will enable them to do it afterwards, without the chance of failure. Several private apartments, devoted entirely to the above purpose, and some of their establishment having used it, the effect produced can be at once seen. They think it necessary to add, that by attending strictly to the instructions given with each bottle of dye, numerous persons have succeeded equally well without coming to them.-Address, Ross and SONS, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate Street, London, the celebrated Perruquiers, Perfumers, Hair-cutters, and Hair-dyers. N.B.-Parties attended at their own residences, whatever the distance.

ASSAFRAS CHOCOLATE for INVALIDS.-By her restoring, AROMATIC CHOCOLATE, prepared from the nuts of the Sassafras-tree, and sold in one-pound packets, by the Patentee, 12, Southampton Street, Strand.

ADIES TRAVELLING, or otherwise exposed to the scorching rays of the sun, and heated particles of dust, will find ROWLAND'S KALYDOR a most refreshing preparation for the complexion, dispelling the cloud of languor and relaxation, allaying all heat and irritability, and immediately affording the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity of the skin. The numerous varieties of cutaneous eruptions, together with sun-burn, freckles, tan, and discolorations, are pleasingly eradicated by the Kalydor, and the skin rendered delicately soft and clear. Its purifying and refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by her Majesty the Queen, the COURT and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and the several COURTS of Europe; together with the eilte of the aristocracy and haute volée, from the sultry climes of India and the drawing-rooms of Calcutta and Madras to the frozen realms of the Czar and the saloons of St. Petersburg and Moscow. Price 4s. 6d. and 8s. 6d. per bottle.

Beware of spurious" KALYDORS," containing mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and which, by their repellent action, endanger health.

ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL.-The singular virtues of this successful invention for restoring, improving, and beautifying the Human Hair, are too well known and appreciated to need comment. The very fact of its having stood the test of nearly half a century of probation, and obtained the especial patronage of her Majesty the Queen, H.R.H. Prince Albert, the whole of the Royal Family, and of every Court in the civilized world, and the high esteem in which it is universally held, together with numerous testimonials constantly received of its efficacy, afford the best and surest proof of its merits.-Price 3s. 6d. ; 78.; family bottles (equal to four small), 10s. 6d., and double that size, 21s. per bottle.

ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or PEARL DENTIFRICE, a white Powder for the Teeth, compounded of the choicest and most recherché ingre. dients of the Oriental Herbal, of inestimable virtue for preserving and beautifying the Teeth and strengthening the Gums. Its truly efficient and fragrant aromatic properties have obtained its selection by the Court and Royal Family of Great Britain, and the sovereigns and nobility throughout Europe.-Price 2s. 9d. per box.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION.-Unprincipled individuals, for the sake of gaining a trifle more profit, vend the most spurious compounds under the names of Macassar Oil," "Kalydor," and "Odonto;" some under the implied sanction of Royalty and the Government Departments, with similar attempts at deception, while they copy the labels, advertisements, and testimonials (substituting fictitious names and addresses for the real) of the original preparations. It is therefore highly necessary to see that the word "ROWLAND'S" is on the wrapper of each article.-All others are FRAUDULENT IMITATIONS!!

The genuine articles are sold by the Proprietors, and by every respectable Perfumer and Chemist throughout the kingdom.

TOOPING of the SHOULDERS and CONTRACTION of the CHEST are entirely prevented, and gently and effectually removed in Youth, and Ladies and Gentlemen, by the occasional use of the IMPROVED ELASTIC CHEST EXPANDER, which is light, simple, easily applied, either above or beneath the dress, and worn without any uncomfortable constraint or impediment to exercise. To young persons especially it is highly beneficial, immediately producing an evident improvement in the figure, and tending greatly to prevent the incursion of pulmonary diseases; whilst to the invalid, and those much engaged in sedentary pusuits, such as reading or studying, working, drawing, or music, it is found to be invaluable, as it expands the chest and affords a great support to the back. It is made in Silk; and can be forwarded, per post, by Mr. ALFRED BINYON, Sole Manufacturer and Proprietor, No. 40, Tavistock Street, Covent Garden, London; or full particulars, with prices and mode of measurement, on receipt of a postage stamp.

A

CURE of a DREADFUL CASE of ERYSIPELAS by HOLLOWAY'S PILLS and OINTMENT.-Mrs. Gibbons, of Tivoli Place, Cheltenham, was for two years so dreadfully afflicted with erysi pelas, that she became (however extraordinary it may appear) both blind and deaf from the severity of the disease. During the time she was attended by several of the most eminent medical men in Cheltenham, but without receiving any benefit whatever, and as a last resource she tried Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which, in two months, perfectly cured the dreadful complaint, and restored her to health. This remarkable cure can be authenticated in every particular at the Bookseller's, No. 10, Arcade, High Street, Cheltenham. Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor HOLLOWAY'S Establishment, 244, Strand, London. Wholesale Agent for the Presidency of Bombay, Mr. FRAMJER NASSERWANJEE, 11, Forbes Street.

At Sydney there is a Board of Directors, and Agents & Trustees at W. Australia.

The following peculiar advantages are offered by this Company :1.

For British India a very moderate extra premium is charged.

2. Premiums may be paid, and claims settled at Sydney, Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay. 3. A third of the premiums may remain unpaid for five years; nor is it necessary for the maintenance of the Assurance to pay up the premium at the end of that time, but the unpaid thirds may remain as a debt against the policy, if the interest be regularly paid upon them as the renewal premiums fall due. ANNUITIES.

The Annuities offered by the Company are on a more favourable scale than those offered by any other Companies, having been calculated with reference to the rates of Interest obtainable on Colonial Investments. Annuitants also participate in the profits.

Overland Newspaper for India, China, and the Colonies.

The "HOME NEWS" and "LONDON MAIL."

of each Month, in time for the despatch via Marseilles, all intelligence of interest for the reader in India being brought down to the latest hour.

Messrs. GRINDLAY and Co. have the pleasure to announce that arrangements have been made for incorporating with the "HOME NEWS," the distinguishing features of the "LONDON MAIL." They refer to the MILI TARY, COMMERCIAL, and INDIAN NEWS, the greater portion of which has en selected and arranged by the late Editor of the "LONDON MAIL," whose contributions to those departments in his own Journal attained for i the wide circulation, high position, and public confidence, by which it was distinguished as a Journal for India.

The Proprietors of the "HOME NEWS" beg to assure the subscribers to the "LONDON MAIL," that no effort will be wanting on their part to prevent regret for the demise of that Journal, and the transfusion of its spirit into these columns. The only change which this incorporation has occasioned, is an addition of eight pages to the twenty-four of which the "HOME NEWS" originally consisted, making a whole of thirty-two pages, without any alteration of its present portable and convenient form; and they venture with some confidence to express a hope that the talent they have secured for its conduct, the peculiar resources at their own command, and their practical knowledge of the information most acceptable to the Indian public-especially as it regards the Civil and Military services-will give the HOME NEWS," embracing as it now does the leading merits of the "LONDON MAIL," at once a place in the first rank among the Journals for India.

Parties desiring to have the "HOME NEWS" forwarded regularly without further trouble to their friends in India, should apply to Messrs. GRINDLAY and Co. or through any respectable Newsman in Town or Country at the Offices of the "HOME NEWS," 16, Cornhill, and Green-arbour Court, Old Bailey.

The price of the "HOME NEWS" is 9d. for each copy, or 18s. per
annum, payable in advance.
