The following are among the advantages of this Society.
Ist, The security of an ample Assurance Fund, besides the
subscribed Capital.

2dly, For young and middle-aged lives the Lowest Rates of
Premiums that entitle the assured to participate in the profits.
idly, Three-fourths of the profits divided every fifth year
among those who have been assured four years on the equal
scale of premiums. The bonus declared in 1834 averaged 161.
per cent. on the premiums then paid ; and the bonus awarded
in 1839, on the average, is equal to 311. per cent. on the pre-
miums received during the last five years.
4thly. Assurers may have the bonus applied to increase the
sums assured, or in reduction of future premiums, either for
the remainder of life, or for the next five years only.
sthly, Policies granted without any charge to the assured be-
yond the stamp duty.
tithlv, An option given to Assurers on the increasing scale of
rates after the lapse of any number of years to commute the fu-
ture increasing premium by an equivalen equal annual 'one for
the remainder of life, and thereafter to participate in the profits.
The same advantages arc applicable to assurers on the decreas-
ing scale of rates.
7thly, Policies on the lives of parties dying by suicide, duel-
ling, or by the hands of justice, not void as respects the inte-
rests of persons to whom they may have been legally assigred.
Bthly, No extra charge for residence in any part of Europe,
nor for proceeding to any port (in a decked, sailing, or steam
vessel) between Brest and the Elbe. Licenses are granted to
go to any part of the world upon terms proportionate to the risks.
9thly, Whole-life Policies on the equal scale of premium pur-
chaseable after four years. Lapsed Policies revived on favour-
able terms to the assured.
All assurances effected on the equal scale of rates during the
year 1839 will participate in the next division of profits.

CABIN ET UPHOLSTERY and BED-
DING, at the CABINET-MAKERS' TRADING
SOCIETY, 71, LEADENHALL-STREET, enrolled agree•
ably to Act of Parliament ; being the Manufacturers in all its
branches.

The system upon which this is conducted precludes the pos-
sibility of competition for cheapness, quality, and durability, as
no house in London can manufacture at their prices. The
Society wishes it to be thoroughly understood that they do not
receive hawked goods for sale, like the baracers and haber-
dashers, but they make every article themselves, which enables
them confidently to warrant their goods of the best materials,
and if any fault appears within twelve months, it will be made
good free of charge. A trial is earnestly solicited of those about
to furnish, as the only criterion by which the merits and de-
cided advantage •f purchasing at this establishment can be fairly
estimated. _ . .

The funds of this Society provide for the members in sick-
ness, old age, and burial ; they therefore sincerely hope that
their humble endeavours will meet with public patronage.
