GREAT ADVANTAGES OFFERED BY THE
UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY,
, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, and 2, CharZotte-row, Mansion-
house, London.
This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the
most perfect security, from an ample capital, and only requires,
when an Insurance is for the whole period of life, one
half of the
very moderate Premiums to be paid for the first five years after the
date of the Policy, the other half may remain, subject to the pay-
ment of interest at 5 per cent, annually, to be deducted ab death, or
may previously be paid off at convenience. It obviously becomes
easy for a person of very moderate income to secure, by this ar-
rangement, a provision for his family ; and should he at any time
after effecting the insurance succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, he
may relinquish his policy, having only paid one half the premiums
for the first five years, instead of the whole, as in all other Com-
panies. Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of
241. 16s. 341 for the first five years, secure to his widow and chil-
dren at his death payment of no less than 3,0001., subject only to
the deduction of 144/. Is. 3d , being the amount of premium un-
paid. This Company 'bolds out, in various other respects, great
inducements to the public: When such facilities are afforded, it is
clearly a moral duty in every parent who is not possessed of a for-
tune, but of an income, however moderate, to insure his life for a
sum which may yield a comfortable provision for his family.

ETTS'S PATENT BRANDY

- -
CAUTION.
J. T. BETTS and Co., for the protection of the Public and
themselves, deem it expedient to state, that their Only Establish-
ment for the Patent Brandy. is the Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield
Bars, leading to St. Jehn-street.

THE NEW WATERPROOF CLOTHING.
BERDOE, TAILOR, 69, CORNHILL,
• was the first who publicly introduced an invaluable dis-
covery for rendering WATER PROOF every description of
WOOLLEN CLOTH, WITHOUT IMPEDING the FREE
ESCAPE of PERSPIRATION, an objection so justly urged
against the unsightly and unhealthy Mackintosh. W. 8., after
long and extensive practical experience in connection with the
subject, and having fully ascertained the relative merits of the
various systems now before the public, can confidently vouch for
the superior and perfect efficiency •f the British Water-proofing
Company's process, 432, West Strand.
Specimens may be seen at 69, CORNHILL, where also may be
obained, at a trifling extra charge, Waterproof Pilot Coats, Great
and Frock Coats, all kinds of Cloaks, Capes, Trousers, &c., made
to order of any material that may be selected.

THE FREQUENT ROBBERIES of PLATE
CAUTION.

It having been represented to RIPPON and BURTON that
several persons are vending a spurious metal as their NICKEL
SILVER BRITISH PLATE, they assure the Public that the
Genuine Article can only be had at the Warehouses, 12, Wells-
street, Oxford-street. The Nickel Silver British Plate manufac-
tured by Rippon and Burton, is, by a chemical process, rendered
superior to any other so called, in appearance and durability; it is
equal to silver ; all the articles being solid and of wrought material,
they improve with use, and are warranted to stand the test of
that strong acid aquafortis. The following prices are named as a
criterion:—
