TO THE LIVERY OF LONDON.
GarrLsmsN,—l have the honour to inform you that the election
to the vacant office to which I aspire will take place at the Guildhall
FIIDAT next, the 2d of March, at Eleven o'clock; and I venture
to express the hope that I may be favoured with the presenee of as
InanY of those kind friends who, on public and personal grounds, re-
„y claims to be worthy of their support, as can without much
inconvenience attend the nomination of candidates.
The spontaneous renewal of the pledges which, on the occasion of
the last contest, secured for me 2,445 votes, and the additional
cordial promises with which I have been favoured in the present
struggle Prom many who were formerly among my active but
curithonourable opp
y of my Pp
convince me that nothing can peril the Re-
election but that relaxation in the exertions of my
supporters which might be the result of too great confidence in my
success.

While, therefore, I should be doing great injustice to lily own
"slings did I not take this opportunity of expressing my very
Fateful sense of the cordial and most effective zeal et the gentlemen
Whose strenuous assistance I am conscious I mast be indebted for
7.inY election, I take the liberty to solicit from their kindness the tur-
-4" great obligation of a vigilant continuance of their activity in my
behalf, until the fate of this contest shall have been finally decided.
I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
Tour much obliged and faithful servant,
GEORGE LEDGER.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES.
BY the operation of the same principles, the Society is eitabled to
Word to tke public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, wkereby 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, •r,
at his option, a large sum of money, •r a policy to his family at his
Zath ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
n'otiinx two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
C. forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
_air: ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
:,.°llhl the purchaser die before arrivin; at the stipulated period, two-
11,de of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
ellze following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
r4rea 'which the judicious application of a small saving caa secure
'Ma this Society.
