OPINIONS OF THE PRESS:

"This work is not only replete with valuable information, but richly enlivened with anecdote, story, and legend; splendidly got up, and illuminated with beautiful engravings. The contents are various and interesting."-Literary Gazette.

"The coloured lithographs that illustrate these volumes in a rich profusion, which proves that cost has not been considered, are effective and splendid presentments of the magnificent architecture of the East, and would alone make the work valuable. Paper, type, and bindings, are all so many luxuries.”— Athenæum.

"This is one of the best works that have been published on the subject of Hindostan."-Spectator.

"In these volumes there is a combination of adventure, description, anecdote, thought, and detail-all emanating from a mind naturally active and intelligent, practised to observe, very accomplished, and full of information, which in richness and variety has hardly been surpassed since the publication of Bishop Heber's Journal. The plates are perfect architectural drawings, with rich illuminations in colour to convey more accurately a true idea of the originals."-Britannia.

REAL

THE
The
HE ATLAS FOR INDIA.-The object of this publi-

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, Dec. 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

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.

ANOTHER EXTRAORDINARY CURE of ASTHMA

by HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.-Patrick Casey, residing at No. 1, Compton-place, Brunswick-square, had suffered from a Chronic Asthma for more than three years. This poor man was so great a sufferer, that he did not dare to go to bed for fear of the phlegm choking him; indeed, he could not even lay his head upon a table for half an hour lest he should be suffocated. Nevertheless this person is now labouring from morning to night, sleeps as well as ever he did in his life, and, in fact, is completely cured by the use of Holloway's pills. Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.

Sold by all respectable European and Native vendors of medicine throughout the whole of the East Indies.

R. WEDGEWOOD'S

PATENT MANIFOLD WRITER, established forty years, for copying letters, invoices, &c., in duplicate and triplicate. The invention completely supersedes the use of the ordinary pen and ink; it produces a letter and its copy at one operation, both as plain and indelible as if written with the blackest and most permanent ink, or, if required, a letter with duplicates and a copy, all in durable ink, and with a pen that requires no repairs. It is so simple in its operation, that the aged and infirm can use it with the greatest ease; is cheap and portable in construction, and affords an immense saving in time and expense to merchants, bankers, and solicitors, and indeed to all who have occasion to write much, and who desire to retain copies of their letters, or send duplicates abroad. Was patronized by their late Majesties King George the Third, George the Fourth, and William the Fourth; by the late Emperor Alexander of Russia, who presented the inventor with a superb diamond ring of great value; also by British and Foreign Ambassadors; the Observatories of Greenwich, Edinburgh, Cape of Good Hope, &c., and persons of rank, science, and ability, in situations official and commercial, from whom the patentee has received numerous voluntary testimonials of its utility.-Manufactory, 4, Rathbone Place, London.-Agents at Calcutta, W.

BOOTS FOR INDIA.

J. TROY late of STUNT'S), ANATOMICAL BOOT

MAKER, No. 376, Strand, London, begs to acquaint officers and gentlemen in India, that he has discovered a new process in the preparation of leather for Boots and Shoes, which renders it soft and pliable as kid, and as durable as calf; it is not affected by any degree of heat, will take a brilliant polish by the common method of cleaning, and is free from that disagreeable creaking noise so often complained of.

T. TROY also begs to call attention to the fact, that bad fitting boots, however large, are not easy, but cause corns and swellings in the joints, which are very difficult to be got rid of. He respectfully states that his anatomical knowledge of the foot enables him to combine ease with neatness, and that he only requires the measure and description of the foot to insure a natural-fitting and gentlemanly-looking boot. His prices are moderate, and his goods of the finest quality.

DIRECTIONS FOR MEASURING.

1. The number of inches round the ball or joints of the foot. 2. The number of inches round the instep. 3. The number of inches round the heel to the upper part of instep. 4. The length of foot when sitting. 5. The length of foot when standing. 6. Round the calf. If there be any peculiarity about the foot, lay it on a sheet of paper and mark round it with a pencil, giving thereby its exact form; or, if an old boot can be forwarded, nothing more will be required to insure a good fit.

Prices.-Wellington Boots, of the prepared leather for India, 30s. per pair; ordinary, 28s.; Shooting Shoes to buckle, 18s. to 20s. per pair.

HUXLEY'S SURGICAL CAOUTCHOUC ELASTIC

STOCKINGS are now daily patronized by the leading members of the profession; their superiority over every other manufactured fabric, for artifi cial support, is admitted by all who inspect them; they afford an equal, comforting, and permanent pressure, on every portion of the limb, avoiding the excessive trouble of lacing; they are drawn on with the facility of an ordinary stocking, adding little or no size to the leg. The success that has attended every case submitted to them, through the profession or otherwise, has established the confidence of all the first practitioners. H. ani Co. are therefore enabled to guarantee a comfort and support hitherto unknown in any other form of bandaging. It is remarkable that every kind of surgical stockings lately used have a tendency to impede the free and healthy action of the muscles, thereby producing relaxation and great diminution of the limb.

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

The following peculiar advantages are offered by this Company :1. Their policies cover the risk of living and voyaging over a far larger portion of the globe than do those issued by any other Company in existence. They allow the assured to reside in the Australasian and North American colonies, and at the Cape of Good Hope. They also allow to the assured for the whole of life one passage out and home to any of those colonies. For British India a very moderate extra premium is charged, and the premium is reduced to the English scale on the return of the assured life to England for permanent residence.

2. Premiums may be paid, and claims settled at Sydney, where there is a Board of Directors and Trustees; and at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, where there are Agents.

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.

The principle adopted by the Universal Life Assurance Society, of an annual valuation of assets and liabilities, and a division of three-fourths of the profits among the assured, is admitted to offer great advantages, especially to those parties who may wish to appropriate their proportion of profit to the reduction of future premiums.

The following Table will shew the result of the last division of profits, as declared on the 12th May, 1847, to all persons who had on that day paid six annual premiums. This will be found a liberal reduction if the original premiums be compared with those of other offices adopting a similar plan of division of profits:
