OFFICES 40, PALL-MALL, LONDON; and CONINIERCE-COURT, 11, LORD-STREET, LIVERPOOL. The defined and guaranteed DIVISION OF PROFITS of the "Unity" is TWO-THIRDS tO the INSURER, and ONE-THIRD to the SHAREHOLDER in addition to five per cent. interest on share deposits. THE PRINCIPLE AS TO RATES IN t 11,3 "UNITY."—Not to underbid other offices, or to diminish the full margin of profits, without which neither the assured nor the assurers would be safe ; but to return the profits when realised, not to a few capitalists exclusively holding the property of the Association, but to those numerous and known parties from whom the profits have been actually derived. Damage by GAS. EXPLOSIONS is allowed as a loss under th e Company's Fire Policies, without extra premium. FIVE PER CENT. DISCOUNT on the Government duty is returned to every insurer at each payment of his insurance. This is well worth the attention of l arge i nsurers , as ma ki ng a considerable reduction in their payments for insurances. THE NEW BUSINESS OF THE " UNITY " FOR THE YEAR 1854 is stated in Mr. Hyde Clarke's "Statistics of Fire Insurance" to have been £1,516,000 MORE than that of the "Sun," and £4,716,000 ABOVE that of any other London Office. The total business effected from the commencement to 30th August last amounts to 25,064 POLICIES, insuring nearly EIGHTEEN MILLIONS STERLING. Applications for Prospectuses and all information are requested to be made at the District Offices, Commerce-court, 11, Lord street. JOHN SMITH, District Manager. Sept. 2S, 1855.

OFFICES: 40, PALL-MALL, LONDON; and COMMERCE-COURT, 11, LORD-STREET, LIVERPOOL. The entire connections and business of the Trafalgar Life Assurance Association are merged into this Association. Important advantages to Assurers:—After there shall have been made five annual payments on a whole Life Policy, the Directors will at any time give the assurer a " paid-up" Policy for the amount he may have paid, securing that sum to his representatives at death ; thus the premiums paid for an assurance, if discontinued, are not sacrificed. No Entrance Money, Admission Fee, or Policy Stamp required. Moderate rates of premium, offering peculiar advantages to young lives. _ Policies are absolutely indisputable. Loans upon Freehold and Leasehold Property, and upon Per sonal Security, in connection with Life Assurance. During eight months, from the Ist January to 30th August, 1855,1110 POLICIES, assuring ,e30,„371,.have been proposed to the Association. The majority of these are in course of com pletion; thus the business now being proposed to the institution, not on one isolated and successful week, but taken from the last eight months, is at the rate of 1665 POLICIES, assuring £399,t56 PER ANNUM.
