The following are among the advantages offered by this society :
ECONOMY combined with Security.
The RATES of Premium are lower than those of any other office,
which entitle the assured to participate in the profits, and considerably
lower than those of any other Mutual Assurance Society.
The WHOLE of the PROFITS are divided every fifth year among
the Assured, and a Bonus is added, after the payment of the Fifth
Annual Premium to every Policy effected on the participating Scale,
if a claim accrue thereon prior to the next division of profits.
The BONUSES declared at the three former divisions (arising
from three-fourths only of the profits), averaged 16, 31, and 36 per
cent. respectively on the amount of Premiums paid.
The BONUS declared In 1549 (arising from the wkole of tie pro-
fits), being the result of the operations of the Society during the last
five 3 ears upon the Mutual Principle, averaged 62 IA per cent. on the
Premiums received.
All Assurances effected during the year 1849, on the equal rates of
Premium, will be entitled to participate in the profits to be declared
in 1854.
The subjoined Table shows the advantages offered by this Society,
resulting from low Premiums, and a division of the entire profits
mong the Assured :

PRICE THREE-HALFPENCE,
CONTAINING
:TERARY MATTER of INFORMATION and AMUSEMENT.

The First Volume of ELIZA. COOK'S JOURNAL Is now com-

pleted, and the l'roprietor takes this opportunity of expressing her
=ease of the honourable and coveted position which a generous Public
has placed her in.
Many difficulties beset the path of a young Journalist which a
little experience removes, and most earliest thanks are proffered for
the kind indulgence bestowed on the errors which have occasionally
marked the Editorial and Practical Departments. The best proof of
the Editor's feeling will be found in her endeavours to render tke
Journal far more worthy of the flattering patronage it receives,
and without any fallacious beast, she can promise her Readers a
future supply of sound and valuable matter.
The most gratifying circumstance attending the extensive circula-
tion and cordial reception of the Journal has been in proving that a
large reading public can be found for a cheap Serial who do not
require unhealthy excitement and mere ephemeral entertainment to
gain their attention. Eight glad has the Editor • been to see that
her plain and simple wish to elevate the morals and invigorate the
mind, has been graciously received : for, though amusement is one
of the chief essentials, not only •f periodical literature, but of our
whole lives, it should ever be blended wills a principle and purpose
tending to advance humanity.
From the cheering encouragement already received, the Editor
trusts fully to her friends for the future, and has equal pride and
plea,ure in presenting her First Volume as a Journalist to those
whose generous perceptions stamped her first attempt as a Poet.
ELIZA COOK'S JOURNAL is published every Saturday, and
in Monthly Parts, stitched in a wrapper, by

T " CAX TONS;
A FAMILY PICTURE.
By SIR EDWARD BULWER LYTTON', Bart.
OPINIONS OF TILE PRESS.

" Rarely has a popular author made so successful an effort in a
new path—rarely has an author, after writing so much as Sir Bulwer
Lytton. evinced, at so advanced a stage of his career, so decided an
increase of power. The domestic affections have seldom been more
nobly, more touchingly pourtrayed, than in this' Family Picture."
—Atlas.
" May be considered one of the best, as it is the most'matured, of
Sir Bulwer Lytton's productions." —Observer.
" So signal, Indeed, has his success been in this instance, that we
do not think ourselves rash in asserting, that in many respects the
Family Picture of The Cantons' is the most brilliant and the most
beautiful of all the effusions of Sir Bulwer LyttOn', pen of fascination.
It is the best of all his domestic fictions."—The Sun.

" It is conceived in a fine spirit, and must be admitted to be one of
the most pleasing, if not one of the most exciting, works he has pro-
duced. . . . . Altogether it Is a charming novel, and closes
with one of the most eloquent and touching scenes of the peace and
sanctity of home we ever met with."—Britannta.
" The book is as instructive es It is delightful, and we confidently
claim for it a wide and lasting succe's."—ExamCner. . .

" The general voice seems to proclaim it the cleverest of his
novels."—Evening Post (New York).
