LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER, 19, 1837,

THE PROTESTANT DISSENTERS' LIFE
AND FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY,
Fottnded ter the purpose of Insuring the Lives and Property of
Dissenters, Methodists, and other persons of proved temperate
habits, at rates of premium equitably adapted to the diminished risk
which accurate calculations have demonstrated that those habits
occasion.
Temporary Offices, 17, Cornhill.
To be incorporated by Act of Parliament.
Capital, One Million, in 10,000 Shares of 1001. each;
Deposit 21. per share.
No Shareholder to be allowed to hold more than 100 Shares.
No Partnership between the Assurers and the Assured. The
whole of the Profits to be divided among the Shareholders, save
One Tenth Part, which will be annually devoted to the benefit of
the Families of Deceased Ministers.
In order to furnish such a fund as will place the Company on the
firmest possible foundation, and enable them instantly to meet any
and every exigency from death or fire, it is proposed that a deposit
of two pounds per Share shall be paid at the period of allotment,
and a further call of one pound per Share, may be made on the
sth of April, the sth of June, and the sth of October, 1838, which
sums, with the annual premiums, shall be invested in Government
and other securities, so as to form an ample and a constantly avail-
able Guarantee Fund.

The experience of the most prudent and prosperous Insurance
Offices has demonstrated, that such a Guarantee Fund will be
adequate to meet all possible exigencies ; nevertheless, should the
general business so greatly increase, by the establishment of Local
Boards in every part of the kingdom, as to make it expedient to
have an addition to the paid- up capital, the Directors shall be at
liberty to allow any portion of the Shareholders to make a further
advance, not exceeding five pounds per Share, for which they are
to be allowed such a rate of interest as may be determined upon.
But, in such case, notice shall be given to every registered Share-
holder, stating the terms of the advance, so that all may have an
equal opportunity of availing themselves of the advantages of the
additional investment.

By this arrangement, the Company will always possess a Gua-
rantee Fund, of the largest amount and highest character, for the
security of both Shareho'ders and Policy-holders, whill at the same
time the Directors will be spared the necessity of •encumbering
themselves and the Company with a larger capital than may be
either necessary or profitable.
Applications for Prospectuses, and for a limited number of
Shares may be made until Monday Next, to the Secretary, the
Rey. Thomas Price, D.D., at the Offices of the Company; and for
Agencies by Shareholders, to the Resident Manager.
The Allotment of Shares will probably be made next week.
