THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who arc hound by their deed of constitution not to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that It was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation ; the great aim and object having been to render Life Policies COMPLETE SECURI TIES and NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENTS, which shall owe their value to the certainty of the contracts upon which they are founded, and be independent of the liberality or caprice of those who shall be in the management of the affairs of the Company when the claims arise ; and for this purpose the Company have, by a clause in their deed of constitution, unhesitatinglyy deprived themselves of the power of objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to prove that it was obtained from thew by fraudulent misrepresentation. The regulations common to all ether Life Companies, which make the validity of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfect correct ness of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life Policy, and which have given rise to almoit all the questions which have been argued in the Courts, and to many extra judicial com promises, are thus entirely abrogated; and nothing but frond, proved to have been committed against them, cart vitiate a policy granted by this Company. - THIS IS THE ONLY COMP - ANT from whom the assured on — the mutual principle, receive the whole of the mutual accumulations, and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums assured. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay the sums in the policies, although the debts for which they were effected shall have been liquidated before the claims arise. The Company considering it only just towards the assured that where premiums have been paid for assuring a given amount, that amount should be paid ; and they undertake to do so without reference to the state of the ooeolmthag between the Assured Ala his debtor. THIS IS ALMOST TILE ONLY COMPANY who grant In 'favour of creditors whole world - policies, whereby the debt is secured, although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe. The premiums calculated aceording to the Carlisle Tables, are lower than usual upon youn - g lives, where participation in the profits is not required; and for short assurances, which, at the option of the assured, may be continued for life, the rates are as low as a due re gard to complete security will permit.

The Half-premium plan of Assurance, as practised by this Company, thus enables persons to retain to their own use the ono-half of the premiums for the first seven years, at 5/. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or dinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be 101., the first pay ment by the half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the one half of the 10/., and interest for the retained half; and, if death should occur in the first year, the coin of 5001. would be paid less the 51. retained. The assured may thus have the use for_ the first year of 51. ; for the second, of 101. ; and so on till the ,end of the seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either he repaid, or retained at 51, per cent. interest until death, when the 351. would be subtracted from The 500/. then payable by the Company.

The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies— the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the amount already invested ; and this bonus, according to an equitable scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future premiums EXAMPLES.

Mr. Hume,—To move the following Resolution : That this House, taking into consideration the exem plary conduct of the people during the exhibition of the Cartoons last year, and wherever they have been ad mitted to public edifices and their general disposition to improve by the contemplation of works of art, approve of the following recommendation of the Select Com mittee of this House on National Monuments, in 1841— " That your Committee strongly deprecate any course which could create an impression that Churches were at any time to be considered merely in the light of places for the exhibition of works of art ; but it is their opinion that as, by increased facilities of admission to the inspection of mere works of art, civilisation has been encouraged and public taste improved, so a more free admission to religious edifices, under proper regulation, may be made conducive, not merely to the gratification of curiosity and the acquirement of historical know ledge, but to the growth and progress of religious im pressions, by leading the mind of the spectator from the contemplation of the building to a consideration of the views with which, and the purposes for which, it was originally erected, and is still maintained. Your Committee entertain a hope that arrangements may be made by the Cathedral Authorities, to allow the larger portions of Westminster Abbey, and of St. Paul's and other Cathedrals throughout the country, to be open freely to the public daily; and, especially, on Sundays, reconciling such free admission with the due and undis turbed performance of religious services, though it may be required to continue a small reduced fee, or other sufficient restriction, in regard to the chapels, and smaller or more intricate portions of those edifices. Your Committee think it right to add, that if the greater freedom of admission to those Churches should lead, as it probably must, to an increase of the number of officers employed in their superintendence, the addi tional expense ought to be defrayed from other funds than those belonging to the Cathedrals." Sir Andrew Leith Hay,—Address to the Crown, that her Majesiy will be graciously pleased to confer an honorary distinction on the surviving Officers of the Peninsular Army.
