EUROPEAN LIFE INSURANCE and ANNUITY
OFFICE, 10, Chatham-place, Blackfriars, London.
This Company is formed on principles combining every degree of
security, with advantages superior to any previously offered to the
public. It consists of a number of Proprietors, who are required to
assure on their own lives, or on those of approved nominees, sums
proportionate to their respective shares; on every transfer of which
a new Insurance is required to be effected. This system, by the
perpetual renovation of Policies, secures the stability and growing
prosperity of the Company, and is productive of great benefit to
the assured, who participate in the profits arising from this regula-
tion, without being responsible for the engagements of the Com-
pany, which are secured by a large subscribed capital.
In the year 1819, when the European Company was formed, the
Directors caused rates of insurance to be calculated from the amalga.
mated Life-Tables of all Europe, which produced results lower than the
rates of any Company then established, and which will still be found
lower than any of the tables of Companies more recently formed,
which admit the assured to a participation in t►te profits; and this
difference is so considerable as to be in the nature of an annual
bonus to the assured.
The affairs of the Company arc managed by a Board of Twelve
Directors. which sits every Wednesday throughout the year, at the
Company's Office, No. 10, Chatham-place, Illackfriars.
Prospectuses may be had at the Office, or of any of the Pro-

HIS Majesty's Proclamation for dissolving the present
Parliament will appear in the Gazette of this evening, and
the Writs for a New Parliament will, I understand, be issued to-
morrow.
Under these ciretur.stances. I lose on time in soliciting a renewal
of the high trust, the important duties of which I have zealously
endeavoured to discharge during the last four Sessions. .
Called upon by the invitation of a large body of my Consti-
tuents, I have already declared that my services would again be at
your command.
In now repeating to you that declaration, I confide in the un-
abated continuance of the same kindness and good-will by which,
in 1823, I was tint encouraged to aspire to the honour of filling the
vacancy which then occurred in your Representation.
For the present, I am unavoidably detained in town by the !lo-
des of my public situation ; but I hope to reach Liverpool in time
to pay my respects to you, Gentlemen., before the day of Election,
and to have that opportunity of personally intoning you of the sen-
timents of gratitude and attachment with which I now remain,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient and faithful Servant,

fidence that I again solicit your votes and interest ; and if, by your
Independent suffrages, I have now the honour to succeed, I shall

deavour to approve myself a steady supporter of the rights of the

SOUTHWAItK ELECTION.—At a very numerous
and highly respectable PUBLIC MEETING of the
Friends of Sir R. WILSON. held at the Queen's Head, St. Mar-
garet's-hill. on Monday the sth instant ;
GEO. WEATIIERSTONE, Esq. in the Chair:
It was moved, seconded, and resolved unanimously,
That Sir Robert Wilson has, during two successive Parlia.
mans, discharged his duties as a Representative of the Borough of
Southwark, with fidelity to his engagements teed advantage to the
general interests of the empire.
That we have seen with pain, for the credit of our Borough, and
indignation at the reproach brought upon it, an attempt made to'
raise a malignant incendiary cry of " No Popery!" against its Re.
presentatives.
That Sir Robert Wilson having renewed his declaration. that he
would continue to advocate and support the cause of Reform, the
vital measure of our pursuits ; and that upon all great questions
affecting the civil and religiousinterests of the Empire,_he will sup-
port the wishes of the Conati:uent Body of Southwark, expressed
in public meeting legally convened for the consideration of the mea-
sure proposed, or resign the trust confided to his charge—we do
unanimously recommend him to our Brother Electors as a lit and
proper person to represent this Borough, and we pledge ourselves
to give him our Suffrages.
That as purity of election, both u it affects the Electors and the
Candidates, is the only security for an independent Represents.
don, we recommend to the Electors to return him to Parliament
free of expense ; and as the cause in which we are engaged has
been rendered one that interests all the friends of liberty through-
out
the Empire, we do earnestly solicit subscriptions in aid of the
inevitable expenses of the contest.
That as the ELECTION COMMENCES on WEDNES-
DAY
NEXT, we recommend the Friends of Sir Robert Wilson
to be early in their attendance at the Pull on that Day, to support
his nomination, and then vote.
WEATHERSTONE, Chairman.

therstane, Lsq. for his able conduct in the Chair.
