PROGRESS OF TIIE COMPANY'S BUSINESS.
The business of this Company since its institution has increased
steadily year by year, until it has attained its present large amount.
In 1825, when the Company was established, few persons compara-
tively availed themselves of Life Assurance; and the amount of
business transacted by the threes then in existence, though few in
number, was of very limited extent. About the period of the first
investigation of the Company's affairs in 1835, the public interest in
Life Assurance became much more general. Various new Offices
had been established both in Scotland and England; and the suc-
cessful course of the Offices previously established, which was then
becoming more strongly marked, had the effect of directing the at-
tention of many persons to the subject who had not previously con.
sidered it. These circumstances, and the satisfactory result of the
Company's business at the first investigation, bad the effect of
greatly accelefating the progress of the institution, and in the period
between the First Division of Profits in 1835 and the Second In 1840,
the income of the Company was more than doubled. The division
of profit in 1840 again called increased attention to the Company;
and at 1845, the Third Division of Profits, the income was nearly
treble the amount at 1840, the previous Division. The following
account of the Progress of the Business within the last four years
will serve better than any other example to show how rapidly the
Company is progressing :

A R R I A E.
M- One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
In the compact; it alone digniles the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYERSVELL'S little
MEMOIRS On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
reined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but
'or the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
'he above subjects, by unqualified authors, whisk alone or
ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
on the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row ; Carvalho, 147, Fleet -street ; Mann,
39, Cornlaill ; Nelson, 457, West Stilted ; or direct (by post or other-
wise) from the author (who may be conferred with personally,
.i.ornings and evenings), 10, Argyll-plate Regent-street; and all
Booksellers.
