GREAT ADVANTAGES OFFERED BY THE

UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY,
8, Waterloo-plass, Pall-mall, and 2, CharZotte-row, Mansion-

house, London.
This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the
most perfect security, from an ample capital, and only requires,
whex an Insurance is for the whole period of life, ono half of the
very moderate Premiums to be paid for the first five years after the
slate of the Polley, the other half may remain, subject to the pay-
ment of interest at 5 per cent. annually, to bo deducted aA death, or
may previously be paid off at convenience. It obviously becomes
easy for a person of very moderate income to secure, by this ar-
rangement, a provision for his family ; and should he at any time
after effecting the insurance succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, he
may relinquish his policy, having only paid one half the premiums
for the first five years, instead .f the whole, as in all other Com-
panies. Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of
'al. Ms. 3d. for the first five years, secure to his widow and chil-
dren at his death payment of no less than 3,0001., subject only to
the deduction of 144/. Is. 3d., being the amount of premium un-
paid. This Company holds out, in various other respects, great
inducements to the public. When such facilities are afforded, it is
clearly a moral duty in every parent who is not possessed of a for-
tune, but of an income, however moderate, to insure his life for a
sum which may yield a comfortable provision for his family.

CLOAKS, CAPES, and FROCKS, in great
variety, of India Rubber, and various kinds.
The PATENT MOHAIR CAMLOMERE will repel more
wet than any other Waterproof that does not confine perspira-
tion. It is well suited for hot climates, and, as the heat will not
affoet the fabric, dust and dirt will not adhere to it, and the little
wet it imbibes soon dries. It is very light and portable, will not
cockle with the wet, has no unpleasant smell, and, when made into
cloaks, is warranted never to get wet through. Can only be seen
in the whole piece, of ►arious colours, at the Manufacturer's, 28,
King-street, Covent-garden ; and none are real but those stamped
,‘ Fox's Patent." _

Real Scotch Plaids of all the Clans, and Tweeds for Trousers.
