Total number of Policies granted from December, 1852, to
Decembe., 1853-1,194.

Under the following heads are briefly enumerated the leading
principles of this Society :
OBJECTS OF THE Z•OCIETT.
1. A Life Assurande may be effected either by Ono Payment, or
by an Annual Premium.
2. Policies may be effected WITII or without the privilege of
withdrawing one-half of the Annual Payments. It with-
out this privilege, the rates are lower.
3. A Lite Assurance may be effected on the life of another, on
Joint-Lives or Stirvivorships.
4. Annuities, Immediate. Deferred, or Contingent, will be
granted: also Endowments for Children.
5. Naval and Military Men, not in active foreign service, as-
sure without extra charge, and
allowed to go abroad with-
out forfeiture of Policy, on payment of an extra Premium,
aceording to climate.
In the event of the Assured (when on the Withdrawal System)
not r, quiring to continue the Police, on its surrender one-half the
annual payments will be returned by way of purchase of his interest
therein. By this means, apprehension of great pecuniary loss and
doubt as to the intrinsic trantierable value of each Policy is re-
moved. its cash va'ue being fixed and determined beforehand bv the
Society at one-half the annual premiums paid thereon : a vast class
of society will thereby be admitted: and every indivi,lual, while
steadily pursuing one object—a provision for his family at death—
will have. by the plan or Bile Society, a door open to his savings,
which will never be closed against his wants or his use.
Prospectuses, Report of last Annual Meeting, Forms of Proposals
for Assurance, and every descr ption of ne,essary Blank Forms, with
Tables of Rates, and full information on all points, furnished, on ap-
plication at 26, Conlin, vr at any of the Company's Agencies.

A portrait of the late Mr. Justice Talfourd, painted
by his brother, Mr. Field Talfourd, has been presented
to the corporation of Reading, to be placed in the Town
Hall, as a remembrance of the close connection which
for so many years subsisted between him and the inha-
bitants of his native town, -as their friend, and also as
their representative in Parliament. This faithful and
valuable likeness of the lete judge was preanted by his
venerable mother.
