and GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY,
27, REGENT-STREET, WATERLOO-PLACE, LONDON.

INCORPORATED PTJRSDANT TO ACT OF PARLIAMENT.
At the pres-nt day, when Railway travelling has become almost
universal, protection against the pecuniary loss to which the families
of sufferers from the accidents incidental to it are exposed, is ens of
the requirements of the age. To meet this general feeling, Oils Society
affords to all persons, of whatever class, travelling by Railway in
Great Britain and Ireland, the opportunity of insuring against loss of
life by accident whilst so travelling, at the moderate premium of
10s. per cent., in one single payment, for the whole period of life,
thereby rendering unnecessary the payment of Annual Premiums, as
In ordinary Life Assurance.
EXAMPLE.—A person may by one single payment of 5/. assure to
his family or ethers the sum of 1,0001., to be paid in the event of his

PERUVIAN BONDS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUIV._

Ma.:Enrroa,—ln the note which I had the honour
to address you, and which appeared in your columns
on the 3d, headed " The Peruvian Government and
the Bondholders," there is a printed error which re-
quires to be rectified.
The note, as it appears in The Sun, says, " and at
the suggestion of these gentlemen, an article was
superadded;" whereas it should have rus, sad at the
suggestion of that gentleman (meaning Mr. J. D.
Powles), an article was superadded to the proposals
about to be submitted to the bondholders, providing
for the nomination of commissioners to receive the
bondholders' money, for the benefit of the bondholder:.
Whatever glory belongs to the suggestion appertains
exclusively to Mr. J. D. Powles, who, of course, had
no personal interest in the matter, and who, if the
commission for the handling and dandling of the large
amount annually payable to the Peruvian bondholders
on the present arrangement were offered to him,
would, with his usual disinterestedness, refuse it.
