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 GEtTERAL LIFE ASSURANM-4C OMPANY.
• —The following is an extract from the Repoit of the Select Com-

mittee : - -
" THE OBJECTS Which persons HAVE IN VIEW IN EFFECTING IN-
SURANCES upon their lives, are GENERALLY OF AN IMPORTANT AND
SOLEMN character, viz., the PROVISION FOR WIDOWS AND ORPHANS
after the death of their NATURAL PROTECTORS; unlik,. 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
offices at increased rates of premium, owing to the greater age
of the assured ; persons are thus placed in the ANXIOUS 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,
MUST ATTEND THE ABANDONMENT OR SALE OF A POLICY."
On the DEPOSIT SYSTEM a person iS•NOT "COMPELLED" to pay
from " YEAR TO YEAR," and he does not, if desirous of " ABANDON-
ING" his Policy; incur any `• sinuous 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-
draw the whole or part of his premiums. If the whole be with-
drawn the Policy is cancelled ; if part only, then the value of the
Policy is diminished by the assured value of the part withdrawn.
A B, aged 20, opens a deposit polio' with a payment of 5i., which
it will be seen he increases from tithe to time, and occasionally
diminishes. lk •

Thus AB, in 10 years, has saved and invested at different inter-
vals various sums amounting to 971., by which he had been insured
in case of death for 2601. 12s. 7d ; but A. B requires 221. ' • he draws
this sum out, and diminishes the value of his Policy by 601. 88. 3d.
at different times, leaving him in case of death a Policy for 2001.
41. 4d., and during his life a fund of 751. to draw out at 'try-time, in
part or wholly.
The first claim settled by the Deposit and General Life Assurance
Company was upon a deposit of 101. which a parent made fbr 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 101. was de-
posited, and the father received 341. 65., being the amount of the De-
Posit Policy.

EXAMPLE No. 2.

Supposing A B, aged 23, when he opens a Deposit Policy hls the
means, and continues VOLUNTARILY to pay the same sum every year
in the same way as he is COMPELLED to do in the ordinary system.

THE HIGH PRICE of COALS and PRO-
VISIONS.
Memorable winter this—excessively cold —extraordinarily wet and
dump—high prices charged for everything but the CLOTHING ma-
nufactured by E. MOSES and SON.
as far as price is concerned,
Coals are "Black Diamonds" now,
and the law of corn is "higher and hither." Under these circum-
stances, Economy is a deside atum—a good set-offs gainst the high
price of coals and provisions is superior Clothing t very low price.
It is as impossible to dispense with Attire as with coals and pro-
'visions ; but It is a great advantage when the very best DreSs can be
had for a very small sum.
The high prices charged for coals and provisions directly or indi
rectly affect all classes; and it is right they should apply the only
rectly
remedy at present within their reach. For every class the princ p e
of cheapness and superior quality is applied by E. Mons and SON,
leteness of
and the perfections of Art are associated with a Comp
Experience and Skill.
The Bespoke Department is available for every one, inasmuch as
the most distinguished talent, BriVsh and Foreign, and the most ac
eomplished workmanship, are associated with the most moderate
charges which can he made.
E. MOSES and SON offer advantages in the Hat, Cap. Hosiery,
Shirt,
and Boot and Shoe Departments, which cannot be obtained at any
ether house.
_ Their immense Wholesale Branch secures to 'Merchants, Captains,
Shippers, and Emigrants a selection from the Best, most Suitable,
anti the Largest Stock in the• World.
CAUTION.—E. M(30• ES and SON regret having to guard the
Public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like
lalsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's
the same conce, n," has been resorted to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have
