The distinguishing feature of this Society is a lower Rate of
Premium than any hitherto offered to the Public, but which the
experience of the Oldest Assurance Societies, and the recent and
more accurate returns of the population, compared with the best
tables of mortality, prove to be ample to afford perfect security to
the Assured, and fair, but moderate. remuneration to a well-con-
stituted Society, whose expenses are limited ; a point to which the
Directors of the PROMOTER have so particularly directed their
attention, that the smallness of the expenses of this Office, com-
pared with any similar Establishment, 1111 alone nearly sufficient to
account for the difference in the rate of Premium.
The object of a vast majority of those who effect Assurances on
their Lives, is to secure a definite sum payable at their death, at
the lowest adequate Rate, and not, in the hope of adding to that
sum, to enter into a Trading Company, unquestionably liable to
whatever losses It may sustain ; and the following statement will
show, that all which is paid beyond the true value of the risk, and
a moderate profit to the Society which undertakes it, is a bad in
of money.
The difference between the Premium required by the PRO-
MOTER ASSURANCE COMPANY, foe an Insurance 0J
5,000/. at 25 Tears of age, and that of those Societies which com-
pote by the Northampton Tables, is 291. 3s. 4i.—an Annuity of
2W. 3s. 4d.wmild, at the expectation of life at that age, as exhibited
by the hest Tables of Mortality, accumulate at compound interest,

Claims are payable six months after the proof of the death. The
entire funds of the Society are invested in the names of three True-
tees, who sign every Polley, in order to give the Assured an Mi.
mediate remedy against the fund itself. Insurers who have paid
live annual Premiums on 5001. or upwards, vote in the election of
Auditors. The price at which the Society will purchase Policies
is endorsed thereon at the time of their being issued ; advances, if
required, are made upon them ; they are also transferable under
certain regulations : and all the details and arrangements are upon
the moat liberal plan.
Agents and Medical Referees are, or will be, appointed in the
pt incipal Towns of the Kingdom.
A Prospectus, containing a lull explanation of the Constitution
and Plan (tithe Society, and the Tables of Premiums, may be had
at the Office.

The continued demands on the Fonds of the Refugee Committee
have again nearly exhausted their resources; and the number of
(Spanish Exiles has lately been greatly increased by renewed per.
mentions of the Spanish Government. Within a short time. many
distinguished public characters have arrived in London. seeking an
asylum from the cruel visitations of their political enemies. Seve-
ral Deputies of the Spanish tortes—many individuals who have oc-
-4...Tied posts of considerable trust in their native country—and great
numbers of Guerilla Soldiers, who had taken an active part in the
defence of Spain, have been banished trom the Peninsula by the re-
cent proceedings against them, and are now wanderers in our
streets. Some, after lung imprisonment, have been shipped off for
England—others, who had sought an asylum in France, have been
forced by the police to abandon that country. Every day, in fact,
brings some new victim of political hostility to our •hores t and
though the Committee have strenuously exerted themselves to find
employment fur the Refugees, and have not admitted new appli-
eau:, but upon the must urgent necessity, so many irresistible cases
have come before them, that they have felt it impossible to oppose
their admission to the ists ; and at the same time they have deter-
mined to use envy effort to obtain the atten ion and re-awaken the
sympathies of the public towards them.
