The Directors hereby give notice to members whose Pre-
miums fall due on the sth of April next, that the same must

The Premiums of MEMBERS twho are the only proprietary)
are payable Yearly, Half-yearly, or Quarterly, on the sth of
January, sth of April, sth of July, end sth of October, either
of which several days constitutes the commencement of the
year to Alzatarits. Persons; theiefore, desirous of entering

ABATEMENT of FORTY per cent. already allowed and
expected to be continued ANNUALLY to MEMBERS of
the METROPOLITAN LIFE ASSURANCE SO-
CIETY of Five Years' standing. The undermentioned
Assurances bear date the sth of January, 1840 :

The above shows a result admitting of advantageous compa-
rison with any other institution for Life Assurance. This rate
of abatement has been declared upon All Members' Assurances
effected during the year 1835 and the early part of 1836, and is
founded upon data justifying the expectation that the same rate
of abatement will be declared, in succession, to every Member
in respect of his sixth and following yearly payments;—or, if
varied, the rate of abatement is expected to be rather increased
than diminished. The new or second Assurance would, after
five years, be entitled to the same rate of abatement as the first
policy ;.—the premium thus remitted being equal, if laid out in
a new Assurance, to a bonus of about One-third the amount
of the sum represented by each policy. Any such increase of
the Assurance, if desired, must, however, be subject to the dis-
cretion of the Directors, as in the case of the original Assurance.
