DEFERRED ANNUITIES DEPARTMENT.
By the plan exclusively developed by the Society, a single
deferred annuity is made, nGt only to answer the same object,
but to equal in amount the entire sum of all the advantages
heretofore only obtained by the middle and industrious classes
by separate investments in Savings' Banks, Benefit Societies,
and Loan Banks.

1. A small yearly or weekly contribution will secure the
roost ample return for after life; thus-21. 12s. per annum ( Is.
a week) at 20 will at 65 give the policy holder the choice of an
annuity for life of 471. 16s. 6d.: 394/. I Is. in cash; or policy
without further contributions of 4661. at death.

2. Two-thirds at any time lent en deposit of policy, being a
fund always available during sickness or want of employment.
3. Two-thirds of all payments returned to representatives in
case of premature death.

ANNUAL DIVISION OF PROFITS.
UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE SO-
CIETY, 1, King William-street, London.
Established 1834.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.
One-fifth if the ascertained profits of the five preceding
years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ;
three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The
remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of
the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen
contingencies.
The first division of Profits took place on the 13th of May,
1840, when a reduction of 60 per cent. was declared on the
annual premiums of all those olicies entitled to participation.
The following table w;11 show the operation of the reduction

This system of reduction in the premiums affords immediate
benefit to the Assured, or enables them to secure a considerable
bonus by effecting a new policy.
Policies are granted in London and by resident Committees
at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, on Indian risks, at very ad-
vantageous rates, calculated from extensive data and tables,
exclusively in the possession of this Society, to show the true
risk of life during res►dence in India, and after retirement from
foreign service.

The composition now used with such success was the only one

in numerous others, in the course of an extensive private ad-
ministration, to be instar.taneous in its (fleet, and painless
in its operation.
