,42 0 MINING INVESTMENT.-Parties seeking
safe and profitable investments should turn their attention
,38 0
40 0 to the shares of those companies formed for mining, especially when
their estates are in Cornwall and Devon: The dividends from many
of these are equal to 10, 15, and 20 per cent. upon the outlay
while others not yet paying dividends, but having excellent
prospects of soon doing so, afford abundant scope for speculation, not
alone from anticipated early returns to the proprietary, but likewise
on account of the great enhancement in the value of the stock at-
tendant thereon. Mr. JNO. S. LANE, 32, Poultry, London,having
correspondents in all the richest mineral districts in England, is in a
position early to advise his clients. Parties communicating will re-
;toady ceive all requisite information, and Mr. LANE will recommend
25,7,- ,- either dividend paying, or non-dividend paying concerns, to those
62,i 2 wishing to embark in mining enterprise, and state his reasons for so
doing.

101:k - LIFE ASSURANCE;
REPORT of the SELECT COMMITTEE of the HOUSE
of COMMONS, and the DEPOSIT SYSTEM-the New and
Important Feature of Life Assurance adopted by The DEPOSIT
and GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY.
norn- The following is an extract from the Report of the Select Com-
ning, mittee : -
'• TUE OBJECTS which persons HAVE IN VIEW IN EFFECTING IN-
Ewers SURANCES upon their lives, are GENERALLY OF AN IMPORTANT AND
first SOLEMN character, viz., the PROVISION FOB WIDOWS AND ORPHANS
t the after the death of their NATURAL PROTECTORS; unlike any ordinary
transaction of trade, a CONTRACT ONCE ENTERED INTO CANNOT BE
DISCHARGED OR ABANDONED, if doubts of the stability of an
Office should arise, WITHOUT A SACRIFICE OF PREMIUMS PAID IN
PAST YEARS, and the necessity of effecting new policies in other
(50/. offices at increased rates of premium, owing to the greater age
(501. of the assured ; persons are thus placed in the xxxious AND UN-
HAPPY DILEMMA OF BEING COMPELLED TO PERSEVERE IN PAYING
PREMIUMS FROM YEAR TO YEAR, with SOME suspicion and doubt as
to the ultimate advantage of doing so, OR OF INCURRING THE SE-
RIOUS LOSS WHICH, UNDER THE MOST FAVOURABLE CIRCUMSTANCES,
BIUST ATTEND THE ABANDONMENT OR SALE OF A FoLICT."
- On the DEPOSIT SYSTEM a person is NOT "COMPELLED" to pay
I 30 . from " TEAR TO YEAR," and he does not, if desirous of " ABANDON-
. 55 ING" his Policy, incur any" SERIOUS Loss," but, on the contrary, he
may pay such amounts, and at such times as he may find most con-
- venient ; he can stop paying whenever he pleases, and he can with-
-424l draw the whole or part of his premiums. If the whole be with-
-26 )te drawn the Policy is cancelled ; if part only, then the value of the
26% Policy is diminished by the assured value of the part withdrawn.
53% A B, aged 20, opens a deposit policy with a payment of 51., which
53% it will be seen he increases from time to time, and occasionally
- diminishes.

Company was upon a deposit of 101. which a parent made for each
of five children, instead of adding it to an account they had at the
Savings Bank. One of them died a few days after the 10/. was de-
posited, and the father received 341. 65., being the amount of the De-
posit Policy.
