THE PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE was
the original Office which effected insurances upon the
Principle of combining the securit y of an adequate permanent
tapital (in addition to the fluctuating Funds arising from the
Premiums) with the beneficial rule of returning, at stated
Oeciude, the -earplug of the annual Premiums •to the Contri-
butors, atter paying losses and expences. The importance,
of this impruvement is acknowledged by extraordinary public
approbation, and by the numerous imitations of it, which
new Offices have lately offered, and which older ones linty
adopted, in changing their constitutions. The principle is of
chief value, because as it yields, by the specific sums insured,
Cod the return of the surplus, the fullest valise for the de•
posits, persons have no restatinnble motive for venturing on
the lure of reduced and insufficient premiums, which has led
to such frequent instances of disappointment and ruin.
Bonuses of 181.8 s. and 261. tea, percent. have been di-
vided during the last fourteen years.
Permission is gianted to all persons whine lives are insured
at this Office, (not being Mariners in the exorcise of their
prufessiun), to pass by sea in whole decked vessels, or steam-
boats, from one' part of the Unitill Kingdom to another, and
also, iu time of peace, from• British to the Foreign Ports be-
tween ,the Texti and Brest inclnsive,' without License 'and
extra Premium, as is generally required,
Military Men insured at this Othee are not charged with
any additiorinl premium unless called into actual service.
No Admission Fees are required, our is any charge made
for Policies, except the stamp duty.
Advantages thus extensive and substantial having been
constantly realised . during a period of seventeen years, the
Public will readily appreciate the difference between the va-
lue of Policies issued hyahis Other and by others.
Agents.areltip.ointed in all the Principal towns.

_EWARD OF INTREPIDITY.—We last week
t says the Liverpool Courier) briefly stated the melancholy fact
of several people having been drowned in the Prince's Dock,
by being-precipitated from a stage. The young man who was
Mainly instrumental in saving the lives of so- many indivi-
duals, by his undaunted and highly meritorious conduct
on that melancholy .occasion, is a carpitter, named Ed.
wards, a native of the United States, and belongs to the
Ship Halcyon. Considering the small space in which the
'unfortunate individuals, about thirty in number, were con-
fined, it being little more than an area of a few yards, it is
wonderful that many more did not lose their lives. The
young man threw himself into the midst of them, and suc-
ceeded in placing ropes rpund the bodies pf the major pof
those who were saved. At one time, we are inforineda, five
persons had hold of, or were upon -him t ‘he; however; font':
timely succeeded in disentangling himself from their grasp, and
continued his • praiseworthy exertions iti resetting his fellow.
creatures from a premature death. It is but justice to. state,
that all the assistance that could be rendered was given by the
crews of the surrounding vessels, and by persons of the quay,
by the lowering of ropes, &c. All this would, however, have
been of comparatively little use; had not some one been in the
water to render such assistance available. Such conduct as
that of Edwards was not to be oiTriooked ; • and a subscription
has been set on foot by the Cproner, our late worthy Chief
Magistrate, for the pure sse of gold rn4al, and by hiM pre-
sented to this intrepid young man, as an acknowledgement of
his great exertions on the petilous and trying occasion. On one
side is inscribed--;
IN COMMEMORATION OF THE
SIGNAL IN/REPIDITY OF .109. EDWARDS.IN LIVERPOOL,
4TH JULY, 1824."

On the obverse--
, " SZVENAI. PERSONS RE/ICI/ED FROlit

as well as CO that of Alt: Owen Roberts, who were both active
in rendering every anigatice in.their. power.
