UNITY FIRE INSURANCE ASSOCIATION.
Capital £1,000,000 sterling, the whole fully sub-
scribed for by upwards of five thousand shareholders, whose
names and addresses were published in the Times and
other morning papers, on Saturday, 24th September, 1853.
The success that has attended this association from its for-
mation, is unprecedented. It is supported by the most
powerful and numerous constituency existing—a fact that,
of itself, must r ender its solid advancement a certainty,
while the principles on which it is establi shed are such as to
command the support of the public generally. With respect
to rates, it is not intended 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, not to a few capitalists who might be the exclusive
holders of the property of this association, but to those nu-
merous and known parties from whom the profits have been
actually derived; not to bestow occasional bonuses at will,
whether large or small, but to repay as a debt to the insurers
two-thirds of all surplus, and one-third to the shareholders.
The manner in which this mutual advantage meets with the
support of the public may be best explained by the fact that
in the last two weeksending4th October, 1853, 792 insurances
have been received for property to the extent of £582,145,
being at the rate of issuing nineteen thousand policies, in-
suring nearly fourteen millions sterling per annum, while the
total number of new insurances completed in the past twelve
months is 6,392, insuring property to the amount of
£3,082,145

Tht SOAPS manufactured by this Company obtain the
advantage over others by their improved process of Manu-
facture, together with the superiority and combination of
their ingredients. They contain, by analysis, twenty per
cent. less water, and.retain their weight, shape, and perfume
in the warmest climate, and thus, for shipment and for home
consumption, they /have obtained a decided preference.
