CERTAINLY THE LAST BUT TWO—ALL LOTTE-
RIES MUST THEN LEASE BY ACT OF PARLIA-
MENT.
OARROLL gratefully acknowledges the patronage he
experienced during his late Contract ; and in soliciting a con-
tinuance of public favour, it is important to state the time fast ap-
proaches to the final termination of all Lotteries, when this only
mode of adventure, by which a large fortune may easily be obtained
for a few pounds, must pass away for ever. From the great demand
that may reasonably be expected in the LAST Lottery, it is pro-
bable there will be difficulty to obtain Tickets and Shares at any
priest Indeed in Lotteries of former years, with but two or three
Prises of any magnitude, not less than Sixty or Seventy Guineas
have many times been paid for a Ticket, which can now be pur-
chased for about Twenty Pounds, although the present Scheme
contains

The Directors of this Company, well aware that at the present
period a new Insurance Company which possessed not the greatest
Intrinsic merit, and did not offer substantial claims to patronage
would fail of obtaining the sanction of the public, with the utmost
confidence beg to point out a few of the advantages attending this
Institution. FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The novel classification of Risks adopted by this Office are as
follows: s. d.

Risk of the First Class • - 1 3 per Cent. per Annum.
Second Class - - 1 6 par Cent. per Annum. j
Third Class - - 2 0 per Cent. per Annum.
Fourth Class - 2 6 per Cent. per Annum.
Fifth Class - Doubly hazardous.
For this class of Insurance, and for all Insurances to a less amount
than 5001. the proposal must be the subject of the special considers- j
tion of a Board of Directors, and specific agreements made.
FLOATING POLICIES.
Floating Policies may be effected with this Company upon goods
and merchandise lying in the docks, public wharfs, Inns, and up- ,
town warehouses, &c. ; as also on ships dismantled and lying in j
the docks, rivers, or canals.
DILAPIDATION DEPARTMENT.
This branch of the Company is entirely original, presenting •
mode of Insurance of the utmost importance. To indemnify
parties from the charge of repairs and dilapidation in buildings of
every description is the plan proposed to be adopted. It is suffi-
ciently obvious, that although a small annual sum can usually be
spared from the income of every individual, yet a heavy demand
occasioned by the necessity of putting a building in through repair,
is often the means of involving the affairs of a tenant for life, or
lessee in difficulty. The advantages to all Landlords, Patrons of
Livings, Colleges, and other Ecclesiastical Corporations, of having
thus the means of compelling tenants and incumbents to insure
against the dilapidation' of the buildings they occupy at the ex.
piration of a given period, are obvious.
ENGLISH AND CAMBRIAN LIFE INSURANCE.
The importance of Life Insurance is becoming every year better
understood by the Public, and is a subject of the highest national
importance. It is unnecessary at present to detail the numerous
benefits arising from this branch of Insurance, and the many evils
and misfortunes which are thereby prevented or rendered less op-
pressive and destructive on their occurrence.
The terms adopted by the Company, calculated upon the most
sound and liberal principles, will be found more equitable towards
the Public than any rates heretofore offered.
let. This Company will not dispute a Policy on the ground of
unintentional inaccuracy as to sse.
2d. The Directors will submit all disputes to arbitration.
3d. The Company, will not forfeit Policies on technical objections
4th. A liberal allowance of time after a Policy is declared void,
and the Company will advance money at 5 per cent. interest to
enable the Policy-holders to pay the premium.
6th. Policies not forfeited by reason of the insured entering into
Foreign Service, but an extra premium charged.
6th. This Company will not forfeit Policies where the persons
whose lives are Insured enter into any military service, but
charge an extra premium; nor will it make such extra charge.
fov Insurance for military service in Great Britain or Ireland,
either in peace or war, except in case of the parties being called
to suppress a rebellion or oppose the invasion of an enemy.
7th. No extra charge will be made for Insurance of Military
Men in time of peace, foe service in any of his Majesty's possessions
or prisons in Europe.
&b. The Company will not forfeit Policies granted to persona
even on their own lives, in case of death by duelling, suicide, &c.;
nor the Policies on the lives of persons dying on the high seas ;
but will pa the same sum as if the Policy ha beets surrendered
the day be the death of the insured to the Company.
