any time.
LOW RATES OF PREMIUM FOR YOUNG LIVES,
with early partiotp.tion in Profits ; and considerably reduced

shall first happen.
INVALID LIVES may be assured at Premiums propor-
tioned to the increased risk.
PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS.—Claims paid

PROSPECTUS.

This company is forme I w: h the special object of uniting
into one strong institution, with its chief office in London,
numerous small local and colonial instittr ions, requiring
con solidat on and additional strength and resource.
The principle of so uniting oinaii colonial i.atituifons has
been most successfully applied to colonial and foreign bank-
ing companies ; and as London is becoming daily more and
more the great "clearing house" of the ommercial world,
the different colonial insurance offices have experienced the
absolute neces ity of being effectually represented there, and
this representation they now realise can only be ful y secured,
as in the case of the colonial local banks, through amalga-
mation with some London company of ample means and com-
manding general confidence.
The directors of the Home and Colonial Company have
been applied to by shareholders in these companies to estab-
lish sue t London institution, and are now in treaty with
several very successful colonial insurance offices, either for
entire amalgamation, on very favourable terms, or for that
beneficial reciprocity. of agency which will at once secure to
the Home and Colonial Assurance Company a most valuable,
safe, and lucrative business as a co-operative assurance com-
pany.
It may be mentioned, as indicative of the success of the
colonial insurance companies, that their selling prices
range from 1 0 to as high as 1,000 per cent. premium, and
the increase of insurance busines a in the Australian, South
African, Canadian, and Easte,n settlements is at a rate of
progress which has no parallel in European countries.
The principle of assuring investments made through the
comp ny's agencv—a principle so -uce,essfully ca"ried out by
colonial offices—will enter as anew feature into he objects of
the "Home and Colonial Assurance C mpany ;" and as is
i a numerous agencies in all parts it will possess pecu iar
facilities for making assured investments for individuals in
sound foreign and colonial securities, the Directors confi-
dently anticipate, from the agency and insurance charges in
this department of their business, a very large and steady
revenue to their shareholders.
While, however, the Home and Colonial Assurance Com-
pany will specially direct its attention to foreign and colo-
nial business, it will not neulect at the same time to cultivate
a home business—a department which will be greatly fos-
tered through its colonial connection. It will also, as a Fire
Assurance Company, share in that large increase of fire in-
surance business here, which may be expected to follow the
anticipated abolition of the heavy and impolitic stamp tax
at present imposed on nolicies or insurance.
No promotion money given in connection with this Com-
pany, and the Directors' remuneration to be left to the share-
holders.

copies of which and of the prospectus to be had of the solici •

SECOND EDITION of BARBARA'S
HISTORY. By AMELIA B. EDWARDS.

From the Times, March 28. —" It is not often that we light
upon a new novel of so much merit and interest as Barbara's
History.' It is a very graceful and charming book, with a
well managed story, clearly cut characters, and sentiments
expressed with an exquisite elocution. The dialogues espe-
cially spa•kle with repartee. It is a book which the world
will like, and which those who commence it will care to finish.
This is high praise of a work of art, and so we intend it."
