The Directors of the Life Association of England having
secured the influence of very valuable connections throughout
the United Kingdom, in most of the Colonies of the British
Empire, and several Continental countries, and baying re-
ceived promises of subscriptions for a large number of shares,
Will enter upon the business of Life Assurance on the 15th
July next, on which day a compete prospectus, detailing the
plan of the Company's operations, and containing tables of
rates, will be issued to the public.
Arrangements also have already been absolutely made by
which a large business will be acquired by the Company at
once; and further negotiations to the same end are far ad-
vanced. _ _

The Directors will further carry out an entire recmstruc-
tion of the system f Life Assurance, on a plan devised by
their Consulting Referee, by which the Association's business
transactions will be rendered perfectly equitable in opera-
tion, and afford the best security, whilst the Association will
be placed in the be,t condition to fulfil its future engage-
Ments. The plan in question will be well adapted to the
wants of the people, affording all the advantages of present
Life Offices, and some of those of a Bank. It will also ope-
rate at less risk, less expense, and lower premiums than
offices ordinarily constituted.
The Directors, therefore, confidently anticipate a very
handsome dividend from the first year of business opera-
tions.
The value of Insurance Shares as an Investment, evidenced
by the large premiums to which most of them have gradually
risen, and the handsome and increasing dividends and
bonuses which have been paid upon them, is a fact so well
ascertained and acknowledged as to need no comment.
Interest will be paid upon the capital at 5 per cent. per
annum, until a dividend of larger amount shall have accrued.
The liabilty of the shareholders is limited to the amount
unpaid on their shares.
'Lhe Local Boards in the principal Cities and Towns of the
United Kingdom will be selected from the most influential
shareholders. _ _ _

The sum the Directors have agreed to pay on account of
preliminary expenses is merely sufficient to recoup the actual
expenditure, which has been regulated throughout with the
strictest r.‘gard to economy.
Prospectuses and all other information may be obtained
from, and applications for the remaining shar.s, and for
Agencies, may be made to, the Secretary, at the Office of the
Company, or the Bankers, Solicitors, and Brokers before
mentioned.

This Company is formed for the purpose or carrying out
upon an extensive scale the business of oil-seed crushing.,
which has ranked for many years amongst themost profitable
of our manufactures.
The importance of this trade and the certainty of its future
development to a much larger magnitude, are manifest from
the great increase that has taken place in the consumption of
vegetable oils, both in England and upon the Continent, as
shown by the amount of our imports of oil-seeds, which have
risen since 1847 from 487,035 quarters, to an annual average,
during the last three years, of 1,401,6 /3 quarters ; whilst the
annual export of seed oils to the Continent has grown up,
during the past five years, from 16,250 to 32,000 tons.
The consumr tion of oil-seed cake has advanced in a still
RI eater ratio, the import of foreign descriptions having kept
pale with the extra supply from our home manufactures,
thus establishing the important fact that oil cake is an article
or permanent and increasingly extensive demand ; and there
is every reason to expect that England must become more
and more a grazing country, owing to the high price of meat,
and the disadvantage of competing in the growth of corn
With countries more favoured by nature for this purpose.
This statement is made without reference to cotton-seed,
which has increased in supply during the last few years more
than tenfold; and although an article but recently applied to
oil-producing an d fat? ening purposes, the profits arising from
its manufacture have been highly satisfactory.
In order to commence operations at an early date, the Di-
rectors have entered into a provisional contract for the pur-
chase of the Seed-crushing Mills situated at Dover, in Kent,
which have lately been refitted with machinery upon the
most approved principles. The price fixed for these mills is
at the valuation of Messrs. Fuller and Horsey (the eminent
valuers of this description of prope, ty), who in their retort
say :—" We have no hesitation in expressing our opinion that
tor tie purp sea for which the mills vrre erected they are
without a rival, both as to the substantial character and ar-
rangements or the buildings, and also as to the machinery,
the whole of wh ch (or nearly so) may be said to hwe been
renewed within the last year, and all the ap Aiances that mo-
dern science and practical experience have suggested up to
the present time for ec_,nomical working with large results
have been introduced in a rPost perfect manner."
The 4tuation of these mills, contiguous to the Harbour of
Dover, and having the command of two railways, one of which
loads at the doors, leaves no'hing to be c esired either as re-
garde facilities for foreign imports, or the distribution of
their manufacture throughout the kingdom. The cheap and
rapid means of communication between Dover and the rail-
ays of France and Belgium, also enable them in a peculiar
way to derive benefit from the export of seed oils to the con-
tinental cities.
