This Society grants Assurances upon the Lives of Persons in
every rank and situation of life, wheresoever resident, upon the
lowiest possible terms consistent with safety, At ages under
45 years the Premiums are lower than those commonly required
by old established offices.
All the advantages offered to the public by other offices
are given by this Society.
Four-fifths of the entire Profits of the Society are divided
among those assured on the Participating Scale. The Profits
respectively allotted may be received in present money, in re-
versionary sums, or by way of annuity, at the option of the par-
ties assured.
In cases where Persons assured for two complete years iu this
office, die, before the division of Profits is made, a due pro-
portion will still be allotted to their Policies, and their Repre-
sentatives will be entitled to receive it when declared.
The Directors call the attention of the public and the pro-
fession to the Society's Table of Premiums on the Non-partici-
pating Scale, as peculiarly applicable to Assurances made for
Loans and Securities for Money.
Assurances may be effected upon the Lives of Persons resi-
ding at a distance from London by their appearing before any
respectable Solicitor.

MILDNESS OF THE SEASON.—It appears by
accounts from Island Glass, in Harris, that early in the
current month of December, there was not a single
patch of snow upon the highest hills of the Harris and
Lewis Isles, which is seldom the case in that quarter
after the month of October. They have also the rare
and unusual sight of flocks of wild swans on their fresh
water lakes, which is considered a proof of a severe
winter in Iceland, and the higher latitudes.—Edinburgh
Paper.
Most of the coaches were several hours behind
their time on Monday and Tuesday last—in some mea-
sure owing to the heaviness of the roads, hilt chiefly to
be attributed to the coaches being heavily laden with
Christmas presents.--Devizes Gazette.
LIE DUKE OF BORDEAUX.—The Emperor
of Austria has given the most full and satisfactory as-
surances to the Cabinet of the Tuileries on the subject
of
,the Duke de Bordeaux, and that he has insisted
upon a change of conduct in the Pope towards the Le
gitimists, who are getting up intrigues kt Rome. The
application of the Duke de Bordeaux for permission to
reside four or five months in Rome has been perempto-
rily refused.
