NOTICE TO HOLDERS OF POLICIES IN THE EQUITABLE
ASSURANCE COMPANY OF LONDON.
UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASS TRANCE
COMPANY,
No. 8, WATERLOO-PLACE, PALL-MALL, LONDON.
The attention or Holders of Policies in the Equitable Assurance
Company of London, is particularly called to the Half-Credit Scales
of Premium of this Company, by which table the bonus to be de-
clared at the next investigation of the Equitable Assurance Company's
affairs, in January, 1850, may be secured at a present t.,nnual payment
of one half the rates generally charged by other companies. In the
event of death the sum insured will he paid, after deduction of the
other half of the rates. Should the life insured survive the decla-
ration 01 the bonus, the policy may be allowed to lapse, and the
Coni;atny will renounce all claim for the half premiums which may
be due thereon ; or, in the event of the party being at that time
in bad health, the policy can be kept up at the full premium of
the axe as when first accepted. Tile above plan, originating with
this Company, was found peculiarly advantageous at the last division
of profits in the Equitable Assurance Company in 1840, when it
was largely adopted, and many of the policies then effected are
still in force, and large bonuses have been added to them on the
scale of the following table :
Stun Assured. Time Assured. Sum added-to Policy.

NOW EXHIBITING, AT THE
the most EXTRAORDINARY, EXHIBITION of A.BORI-
G 1 ES EVER SEEN in EUROPE, landed in Liverpool by the
brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler.
HALL PICCADILLY,
TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and a BABY, of the BOSJESMAN
or BUSH T ABE, from the interior of South Africa, a race that,
from their wild habits, could never before he induced to visit a place
of civilization. This opportunity of gratifying the man of science
and the student in zoology has only been obtained by great personal
exertion on the part of the gentlemen who have brought them to
England, at an immense outlay of capital. On the passage to Europe
a baby was born at :sea, thus adding to the great interest that must
be excited by their appearance.
From the Liverpool .Journal : —" Bosjesmans, or Bush People, from
Southern Africa—lnterestinz specimens of a most extraordinary race
of human beings have been landed in our port; the% are the llosjes-
mans, or Bush People from the interior of South Africa, of which so
much has been written by the missionaries, and the few who have
travelled to that far distant region. They are natives of the country
border ng the Great Orange River, 1,200 or 1.400 miles front Cape
Town. They exhibit almost as striking an absence of the intelle-tual or
higher faculties as is observable in the skull of that mockery of
humanity, the Baboon, while the preponderance of the animal is al-
most equally as great. In every respect they are calculated to excite
the gr.atest astonishment, and to confirm to the full those " Tales
of Travellers" which we have certainly been inclined to look upon
whit suspicion. We could scarcely have credited that such ame
could be in existence on the earth. That they are genuine no one
can doubt ; in proof of which we give the fo lowing extract from a
Cape Town Paper of the 24th December, which we have just re •
ceived :—" We understand the brig* Fanny, Captain Wheeler, which
recently left Table Bay for Liverpool, had on board an unusual kind
of exportation, viz., twe males and two females of the genuine Bush-
man species; they are In charge of a Mr. J. G. R Bishop, who has
been at considerable trouble and expense in procuring them from the
interior. They are authentic specimens of this diminutive and ra-
pidly decreasing tribe of Aborigines, found only In southern Africa.
