AISLANCHOLT DEATH.—On Monday evening all
inquest was old at the White Horse, Strand, on Lieui
tenant-Colonel T. Sutcliffe, aged 59, late of the Boi
Horse Guards Blue. Mr. W. Knight, of 357, Strand,
stated that the deceased had resided in his house for the
list three years. He had held a commission in the
Royal Horse Guards, was with his regiment at Wattrloo,
and left for dead on the battlefield. Since then he had
been is the army of Columbia, South America, and thin
forfeited his half-pay Lora the British Government.
Returning to this country with but very slender means'
he endeavoured to improve them by literary pursuits, hl"
last work, which he completed only a short time ago, be,
ing " A Chronological Record of the Trade, Commerce,
Resources, Expenditure, and Progressive Improvement in
the Textile Manufactures of Great Britain and ireitacil
from the earliest period to the present time." He finished
his book by the opening of the present session of I'
liament, and, being then without the means of publish:
ing it, wrote to Lord Juhn Russell, with whom he he"
had some previous acquaintance, to assist him in putting
toe work to press. He was at this time utterly withow',
money, and all his hopes wore built on the success of big/
application, but his I.c•reiship's reply was unsatisfactorl.
He tiLd depended entirely on the proceeds of his book to
pay witness what he owed him for his support during
three years, and the failure of his attempt caused him
great sorrow. Deceased had lately been in good health,
with the exception of a slight cold; and on Sunday
witness was much surprised to find him dead in bed'
Mr. Lane, surgeon, said he had made a post mortem exiv
mination, and found the cause of death to be suffocatie,ll
from ossification of the heart. Verdict, Nature
death."

The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
the Company being prohibited, by the 54th clause of their Deed of
Constitution, which is duly registered is terms of the Act, from disd
?Ming a Policy upon any ground whatever.
The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify.
HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the
Premiums. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p iid
for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the
Convenience of the assured. or allowed to continue, to form
A deductlea from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As-
surance may be relinquished at any. time without payment
of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security
of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTNERAIIIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance
efected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
vested. Oa the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retitle-
Ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from
outstanding debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the
equator.
Ne Admission or Entrance Fees are rzquired, nor is any charge
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims MO payable within three months after proof of the death of
the assured life

ATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSU-
RANCE SOCIETY.
26, Cornhili, London.
Capital 1.500,000.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.
This Institution embraces important and substantial advantages
with respect to Life Assurances and Deferred Annuties.
Policies issued by this Society have a twofold advantage :—provi-
sion for the family of the Assured, and an augmenting pecuniary
available resource to himself, if needful, while living. The Assured
has, on all occasions, the power to borrow, without expense, or for-
feiture of the Policy, two-thirds of the Premiums paid.
DIVISION OF PROFI TS.
The continued prosperity of the Society has enabled the Directors
at the Annual Meeting, held on the 10th of May, la4B, to declare a
sixth bonus, varying from 27 to 65 per cent. on the Premiums paid
on each Policy effected on the profit scale.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES.
By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con-
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, er weekly saving, may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, er a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous paytnents, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue premiams, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tagOS which the judicious application of a small saving can secure
hrough this Society.
