The Corporation has effected Life Assurances for a period of more
than 125 years, its first policy having been issued °ff.:the 7th of
June, 1721.

The extent of its business and connexions, the security afforded
by its large capital, its long standing, its advantages to Assurers, and
the liberality of its transactions, strongly recommend it to the public.
Two-thirds of the gross profits are awarded to the assured, and
the expenses of managing the Life Department are not, as is usual,
taken from the premium fund, but are defrayed by.the Corporation
out of their one-third share of the profits, thus giving to the As-
sured all the advantages of Mutual Assurance, without liability
of partnership, and the security of an ancient and opulent Cor-
poration. _ _

Its tables have been formed on the lowest scale, to meet the varied
views of Assurers, by affording to the m the option of the following
several advantages :—Firstly, of participating in the profits of the
Corroration by abatements front annual prentiams ;. or, secondly, by
making additions to the sums assured by way of bonus payable at
death; or, thirdly, by a money payment at the division of profits in
every fifth year, whilst from those who desire to limit their assu-
ranc, s to a given sum without participation in profits, the lowest
possible rate of premium is required, as will be evinced by tables ex-
pre3sly prepared for the Corporation, which may he ha& on applica-
tion at their offices, and which . have been constructed for meeting
the various wants of Assurers, and every risk to which protection
by assurance can be extended.

The bonu.es made to Assurers have. at some of the pertods of di-
vision been upwards of 50 per cent., and for three of` the lowest
years the average bonus has been equal to 'trona 24% to 28-per cent.,
or from 3 to 3% per cent. per anntiru. on the sum assured, varying
:wording to the ago of the life

A First-class Noble MANSION, in the very choioe elevated spot
distinguished as Carlton House-terrace. It is an elegint, command-
ing, and most substantial structure, upon a fine elevated terrace,
overlooking the Park, near the Royal Palace and Houses of Parlia-
ment. It opens 'on two sides, with south and east aspects, upon a
broad gravelled raised parterre, enclosed by handsome balustrades,
and is finished with beautiful Corinthian columns and balconies, and
other architectural embellishments. It contains a splendid suite of
lefty reception rooms, libraries, and spacious halls, numerous airy
bed-rooms and dressing-rooms, and offices of every description for a
large establishment, with stone-stair-cases to the top of the house.

side (to which most of our best squares even are exposed), it is re-
markably cheerful, and the atmosphere is particularly pure and
healthy. The Stabling (forming a second let) is in Carlton-mews,

man's apartments, and lofts above.
