ADDRESS TO CAPITALISTS.

LEGAL. ADVISERS-

Experience has shown that there is no more secure or pro-
fitable way of investing capital than in Life Assurance Com-
panies. So great, indeed, were the gains of the earlier Com-
panies, that in the space of a few years only, the various sub-
divisions of society, such as thej.Medical, Legal, Naval, and Mili-
tary, have each formed its own peculiar Life Assurance Association,
on the well-founded expectation of sharing in their enormous
profits. The Freemasons now come into the field ; a class
of all others, the most influential by its numbers, and the
most united by a general, and it may be said, a sacred principle.
Actuated by the spirit, which should influence every Freemason,
the Directors of the new Company intend appropriating a share of
their profits to such benevolent purposes, connected with Free-
masonry, as shall be approved by the United Grand Lodge of Eng-
land, while Past-Masters and Masters of Lodges will be preferred
as Agents. With the same views and feelings, a limited number
of shares has been set apart for distribution among Lodges, which
may desire to become proprietors in their aggregate capacity.
It would be absurd to suppose that all these sacrifices are purely
disinterested—that no return is expected for them. On the con-
trary, the Directors look for great and substantial advantages ; but
they are such as flow naturally out of their connexion with Freema-
sonry, and which, from the widely extended ramifications of that
body, not through England only, but through the whole of the
civilized world, promise fair to Make this the first and most pro-
fitable establishment of the kind. .

But it is not only from its connexion with Freemasonry, that
the capitalist is to look for the expected augmentation of
profits ; independent of the various new, as well as customary
forms of Assurance, which are set forth in the prospectus, the
Company will purchase reversionary interests, as well as an-
nuities, present or deferred, absolute, or contingent. They
will also grant annuities. If, too, the prospectus be attentively
considered, it must be evident that the very extent of acvm-
modation afforded to the public, opens up a multitude of pro-
fitable resources, which though unusual, are perfectly compatible
with safety and the general benefit of the Company. This,
indeed, is one of the grand features ; by judicious calculations,
by an extension of the usual plans, it holds out not only the
hope, but the moral, and it might almost be said, the mathe-
matical certainty of a liberal return to the Shareholder, with
advantages to the Assured, which he has a right to expect, but
which are not to be obtained in any similar establishment.
Upon the Paid .up Capital.—A dividend of 5 per cent. per an-
num will be made half-yearly. The proprietors' profits will be
ascertained at the expiration of five years after the establishment of
the Company, and will be divided rateably among the shareholders,
and added by way of increase to the paid-up capital, and bear in-
terest at 5 per cent. from the date of such apportionment. A simi-
lar division will then be repeated in every successive three years.
The extent of liability on each share is restricted to 20/., to
which it is limited by the Deed of Association, and the Contract of
Assurance.
A call of 2/. per share will be made on the 10th of October
next ; and a further call of 2/. per share, on the 10th of January
following, beyond which no further call is contemplated.
Ix LoNDON.—Applications for Shares must be made at the Lon-
don and Westminster Bank, or at any of its Branch Estabtsnments ;
a deposit of 11. per Share is then to be paid, and the Banker's re-
ceipt taken in exchange. Of the allotment of Shares, due notice
will be given, and in those cases in which shares shall not be allotted,
the deposits will be immediately returned.
The Bank is at
The Westminster Branch 9, Waterloo-place, Pall Mall.
The Bloomsbury do.
The Southwark do.
The Eastern do.
The St. Marylebone do.
Applicants from the country may remit their payments through
t he Country Bankers, or by post (free) to G. G. Kirby, Esq., 11,
Waterloo-place, London. The receipt of the money will
be acknowledged by return of post.
