Empowered by special Act of Parliament. This Company was established in 1844, for the purpose of opening to the public an easy and unquestionably safe mode of Investment, with a high and uniform rate of Interest. The plan of the Bank of Deposit differs entirely from that o f ordinary Banks in the mode of employing capital —money depo sited with this Company being principally lent upon well-secure Life Interests, Reversions in the Government Funds, or othe property of ample value. This class of securities, although not immediately convertible, it is well known yields the greates t amount of profit, combined with perfect safety. Further, Loans made by the Company are collaterally secured by a Policy o Assurance on the life of the Borrower, or his nominee, effected at a rate of premium which insures the validity of the Policy against every possible contingency. Thus Depohitors are effectually protected against the posh bility of loss, whilst the large and constantly increasing revenue arising from the premiums on Assurances thus effected yields ample profit to the Company, and provides for all the expenses of management. Damn' ACCOUNTS may be opened with sums of any amount, and increased from time to time, at the convenience ofdepositors. A receipt, signed by two Directors, is given for each sum deposited._ RATE AND PAYMENT OF INTEREST. The rate of Interest since the establishment of the Company has never been less than five per cent. perannum ; and it is con. ildently anticipated that the same careful and judicious selection from securities of the description above mentioned will enable the Board of Management to continue this rate to depositors. The Interest is payable in January and July, on the amount standing in the name of the depositor on the 50th of June and 31st of December, and for the convenience of parties residing at a distance may be received at the Branch Office, or remitted through Country Bankers.
