It has long been felt that the combination of the principal *lasses or kinds of assurance business in one undertaking would be of great public benefit. Of late years, so extensively has the principle of assurance been applied to every circumstance of life, business, and commerce, to which risk or loss may happen, that not only has the number of existing companies been multi plied, but others have been formed in rapid succession for the transaction of some peculiar class or kind of assurance business. Thus, in addition to life and tire companies, we have new insti tutions specially established for accidental death, railway pas sengers, guarantee for fidelity of trust, plate-glass, travellers by land and sea, and various other kinds of assurance business, but generally acting separately and distinctly from each other. it is, therefore, for the purpose of combining these several branches in one institution, and thereby offering improved facilities to the public for the transaction of business, that the " SAXON FIRE AND GENERAL ASSURANCE SOCIETY " has been estab lished, in close connection with the " SAXON LIFE AS SURANCE SOCIETY." It is designed by the Saxon Fire and General Assurance Society, that, in additionto the transaction of ordinary fire busi ness, it should meet the demand for any special class of assn• ranee which the particular circumstances of individuals engaged in the various pursuits and occupations of life may require. The important advantages secured by the adoption of life and fire assurance have been for years past generally acknowledged, until it has become a subject of universal interest; and, in like manner, the public are now gradually taking advantage of every opportunity afforded them by the various assurance institutions for still further protecting themselves against the risk of loss to life or property. It would obviously be a great convenience to a person desiring to avail himself of several of these advantages if he could effect all the assurances he requires in one office ; and, from the constitution of the Saxon Fire and General Assu rance Society, he would in many cases be able to effect combined assurances, the cost of which would be much less than if sepa rate policies for the required assurances were taken out in dif ferent offices. The business of the " SAXON FIRE AND GENERAL ASSURANCE SOCIETY" is— Fire Assurance.—To effect all or any assurances against loss of or damage to property, by fire, at the usual rates. AccidentalDeath.—To effect assurances against death, and per sonal injury arising from accident or violence ofany description. Example.—Chuss I.—A payment of 2s. per cent. per annum will secure 1001. in case of fatal accident; or a payment of bs. per cent. per annum will secure 1001. in the event of death; or in case of serious injury an allowance of 12s. per week, and com pensation for each :00/. assured. Marine Assurance.—To effect assurances against all risks to which life is exposed at sea. Example.—lsaval officers, master mariners, &c., by a payment of 20s. per cent. per annum may secure 1001. in the event of fatal accident ; or by a payment of 255 per cent. per annum may se cure 100 i. in case of death; or in the event of serious injury compensation as above. Travellers and Tourists.—To effect assurances against death by accident by sea or land in any part of the world. For rates •ee Fir ospectus. Plate• Glass Insurance.—To effect assurances against loss by breakage of plate or other glass. The rates in this branch will be found exceedingly moderate and advantageous, with participa tion in profits. Guarantee for Fidelity of Trust.—For granting assurances for fidelity of trust without life assurance ; or to unite the advan tages of life and fidelity assurance by a new and valuable prin. ciple of combination. This Society is guaranteed by a capital fully adequate to every contingency, and thus has the stability of a proprietary office combined with the advantages without the responsibility at tached to the mutual system. Prospectuses and every information may be obtained at the Hrul Offices, and of the Society's Provincial Agents. R. W. ROBERTS, Secretary.
