GEORGE HOTEL,
BANGOR FERRY,
NORTH WALES.
In returning her grateful thanks for the patronage and support which she has received during the last fifteen years,
MISS ROBERTS
begs to inform her friends and the public, that during the winter season she has added to the comforts and accommodation at “THE GEORGE,” on a scale calculated to meet its present requirements.
Among the buildings now added to “THE GEORGE,” is a New Coffee Room, on a magnificent scale; adjoining which, and fitted up in a style appropriate for evening reception, is an Octagonal Drawing-Room of corresponding proportions. Above is a new range of Sleeping Apartments, which enables Miss Roberts to make up forty additional beds.
The Stables have been much enlarged and improved; the Carriage and Posting departments having, at the same time, undergone thorough revision.
Additional Hot and Cold Baths have been built, and are always ready.
Sea-Bathing may be enjoyed at the foot of the grounds.
Omnibuses from “THE GEORGE” meet every train at Bangor Station.
Liverpool Steamers ply to and from Bangor Ferry daily.
Pleasure and Sailing Boats are in constant attendance, and the Sea Fishing in the Straits opposite the house seldom fails to afford sport.
“THE GEORGE” is lighted by gas manufactured for its sole use, and free from any impurity.
Two Tables d’Hôte are served daily; one at 3, and the other at 6, P.M.
The House is, as usual, supplied with Wines of the first class.
The growing necessity which Miss Roberts has of late experienced for more ample accommodation, to meet the requirements of the increased numbers who honour her house with their patronage, has induced her, at a very large outlay, to perfect her present arrangements; and she ventures to express a hope that the spacious and well-appointed Apartments which have formed part of her plan, will now be found sufficient for a demand which for some time past it has been difficult fully to provide for.

LIFE DEPARTMENT.
The Accumulated Premiums are over £1,600,000. And the Annual Income exceeds £184,000.
Bonuses have been declared on Policies to an amount greater than the sum originally assured.
Premiums have been extinguished, where the parties assured have applied the bonus in reduction to the Annual Premium.
At the last valuation up to Christmas, 1854, there existed a Surplus of £268,691, which had accrued during the five years ending at that period—the whole of which Surplus belonging to the policy holders.
The next valuation will be made up to Christmas, 1859. Policies on the Participating Scale, in England or Ireland respectively, which may be effected before that date, will, if the parties be then alive, participate in the surplus in proportion to the time they may have been in force.
The sum of £3,130,975 has been paid during the existence of the Office for claims under Life Policies, of which amount a very considerable part was for Bonuses.
Persons assuring in Great Britain have the option of
Participating Rates of Premium, or of
Non-Participating Rates.
The Directors beg to announce that the rates of Premium have been recently revised and re-adjusted in accordance with a long experience, and that
The New Scale will be found very advantageous to persons desiring to commence assuring early in life.
The Non-participating Scale is particularly adapted to parties wishing to assure a fixed sum only, at a fixed rate of Premium, and on low terms.
Premiums may be paid Annually, Half-yearly, or by a limited number of Annual Payments. The last-named mode of Assurance originated with this Office in 1816.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Renewals should be paid within fifteen days after the respective Quarter-days when they become due.
The Company undertakes the assurance of Property in the Manufacturing, Agricultural and other districts, on favourable terms. Risks of extraordinary hazard on special agreement, upon survey.
An Allowance for the Loss of Rent of Buildings rendered untenantable by Fire is one of the advantages offered by the Company.
Tables of Rates, forms of proposal, and any information needful to effect Life or Fire Assurances, may be obtained on application to the Office, No. 92, Cheapside, London, or to any of the Company’s Agents.

R. GARRETT AND SONS,
LEISTON WORKS, SAXMUNDHAM, SUFFOLK,
AND AT
40, MARK LANE CHAMBERS, E.C.,
Respectfully solicit the continued patronage and support of the numerous body of Agriculturists, Shippers, Merchants, and others, whom they have had the honour of supplying with Agricultural Machines and Implements for the last thirty years. With their extensively increased facilities for manufacturing, R. G. and Sons are now enabled to supply with dispatch, and at the lowest cost consistent with sound workmanship and thorough efficiency, combined with practical utility—Fixed and Portable Steam Engines, for Agricultural Purposes, Contractors’ work, &c., &c.; Combined Thrashing and Dressing Machines, for steam, water, and horse power; Drills of every description; Patent Manure Distributors, and Patent Horse Hoes; Chaff and Straw Cutters, for steam, horse, and hand power; Corn-Dressing and Winnowing Machines; Improved Reaping Machines; Hay Machines and Drag Rakes; Sawing Machinery, from four to twenty horse-power; Stone Grinding Mills and Flour-Dressing Machines; Tile, Pipe, and Brick Machines; Barn and Field Implements of the most approved construction, &c., &c., &c., full particulars of which will be found in
R. G. and Sons’ Illustrated Catalogue.
For the above Machines R. Garrett and Sons have received 161 Money Prizes, 31 Gold and Silver Medals, besides the Great Council Medals and Gold Medals of Honour of the Exhibition of all Nations, held in Hyde Park in 1851, in Ireland in 1853, in Paris in 1855, and in Vienna in 1857.
Complete sets of the most improved Farm Machinery are erected by Garrett and Sons, adapted to the nature and size of the occupations, and with the arrangements best suited to the buildings. Plans and estimates will be furnished, with reference, on application; also Catalogues, in either English, French, or German, sent postage free, on application as above.
SALISBURY SHOW, July, 1857.
The competition by R. G. and Sons, at this meeting, was confined to the class of Horse Hoes and Drills, and, after a most patient and searching trial, the First Prize in Horse Hoes was again awarded to R. G. and Sons’ well-known Implement, which has now been before the Public upwards of fourteen years, taking the First Prize at every meeting at which it has competed, distancing all competitors, and has earned for itself a reputation such as no other implement ever has done. This result is the more important when it is borne in mind that no further competition will take place in Horse Hoes until the year 1860. No less than 64 Horse Hoes were exhibited at Salisbury, all of which, by the awards, are pronounced more or less inferior to
R. G. & SONS’ PRIZE MACHINE.
The following statement shows the result of the competition—
The Patent Horse Hoe | First Prize. |
(Making Thirty-Eight FirstPrizes and Ten Medals awardedfor this excellent Implement.) | |
The Small Occupation Corn Drill | First Prize. |
The Liquid Manure Distributor | First Prize. |
The Corn, Seed, and Manure Drill | Second Prize. |
The Liquid, Seed, and Manure Drop Drill | First Prize. |
The Corn and Seed Drill | Highly Commended. |
The Seed and Manure Ridge Drill | Second Prize. |
And at the Waterford Meeting, August, 1857, R. G. and Sons received for their
IMPROVED EIGHT-HORSE POWER PORTABLE ENGINE,
AND FINISHING, THRASHING, AND DRESSING MACHINE,
AND OTHER IMPLEMENTS,
THE PRIZE OF £30 FOR THE BEST COLLECTION,
AND A SPECIAL MEDAL FOR THE ENGINE AND MACHINE.
N.B.—Early Orders are respectfully solicited, and will ensure prompt attention. Leiston Works, June, 1858.
VISITORS
BEFORE YOU LEAVE CHESTER
CALL AT No. 117, BRIDGE STREET,
AND SEE THAT ANCIENT RELIC OF THE ROMANS,
THE BATH AND HYPOCAUST,
PRONOUNCED BY ALL ANTIQUARIANS TO BE THE
GREATEST CURIOSITY IN CHESTER.
“Near to the Feathers Hotel, in Bridge Street, are premises now occupied as a China Shop, in which are the remains of the Roman Hypocaust and Sweating Bath, the use of which appears to have been very general among the Romans, and regarded by them as one of their chief luxuries. From the details which have been handed down to us by ancient historians, respecting these curious erections, we learn that they were not only constructed so as to secure the comfort and convenience of the bathers to the fullest extent, but were often built in the most magnificent style of architecture. The one in Bridge Street, which circumstances have happily spared, is in a tolerably perfect state.”
