FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The DIRECTORS beg to remind their Friends whose pre-
miums became due at Lady-day, that no extra charge is made
at this office for the transfer of policies, and that they will be
rated on terms peculiarly favourable to parties insuring.
LIFE DEPARTMENT.
For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a spe-
cific sum, without a prof3pective bonus, a new table at lower
rates has been calculated, on which, as well as on the parti-
cipating scale, ONE-HALF OF THE PREMIUMS MAY
REMAIN ON INTEIIEST AT FIVE PER CENT.
FOR FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his
life for 1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for
500/. only.
The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of
1001., one-half of whic'n may remain for five years by merely
paving the interest annually at 5 per cent. ; and should the
policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then
be deducted.

The Policies are Ind, •feasible and Indisputable, unless they
have been obtained by fr audulent misrepresentations.
Any important mistake, or even an unintentional omission,
in communicating infor citation, in answer to the numerous
questions put by other C ompanies, has the effect of annulling
the policy, and forfeiting ; the premiums—thus rendering it in
general a matter of uncr Ttainty (until the claim comes to be
made) whether the po [icy be of any value. The London,
Edinburgh, and Dublin Assurance Company, determined to
obviate whas they cons ider injustice to the assured, satisfy
themselves upon the various questions proposed by them before
they enter into the cent vact of assurance, and frame their po-
licies in such terms as to preclude all future questions as to
their validity, and thus ; reader them indefeasible and indisput-
able documents of futui re debt against the Company. The po-
licies of this Company may, therefore, be regarded as certain
available future funds , and as unimpeachable and negotiable
documents for pecuni: ay transactions.
One-half of the P remiums may remain Unpaid for Seven
Years, affording a g, seater facility for Loan Transactions and
Family Provisions t' nan any other plan which has been sug-
gested—allowing a Policy to he dropped at one-half of the
usual sacrifice—and , entitling the Assured at a future period,
when loss of healt h may prevent him from obtaining a New
Assurance, to cont intro a Policy for double the amount of the
sum for which he h as paid Premiums.
Parties may be a ssured either upon the participating or nor.-
participating plan ; the former are entitled to the whole of the
profits upon that bra nch of the business, and the latter are as-
sured for the lowest premiums compatible with perfect security.
The usual Comr aission allowed to Solicitors and Agents,
and Medical Gentle: .nen are in all cases remunerated fix their
reports.

DOUBLE PATEN T PERRYAN FILTER INKSTAND.
PERRY and CO. having effected considerable
improvement in their FILTER INKSTAND, have
now the pleasure to al insunce that a Secom. Patent has been
granted to them for su, :•11 improvement, which they have united
with their First Patent . under the title el " DOUBLE PA-
TENT PERRYAN I FILTER INKSTAND." Tho eulogy
bestowed on the Patent ; Filter Inkstand by the public I ournals,
and the preference ebt wined for them over the common Ink-
stands was almost unpi •ecede.nted. Tho present novel and sci-
entific method of suppl ring Clear Ink to the Dipping Cup, and
returning it into the re s ervoir, is exceedingly simple, the action
being now performed b v merely lifting up the lid to obtain a
supply, and shuttinr; it 'down to withdraw it ; in this state it
cannot overflow, whates rer may be the change of temperature,
and it is protected from dust or other injury in any place or
climate. When the ink stand is filled, it is always ready for use,
and the writer will ha vs a regular and daily supply of Clear
Ink for four or six raont hs.
