The County is the only Fire Office which has constantly
made Returns to its Members, and for a long series of years.
These Returns have varied from 10 to 25 per cent. and have
amounted to upwards of 100,0001.
In the Life Office, nearly the whole of the profits are divided
among the parties insured. Their effect may be judged, of
from a Policy taken out by his late Majesty on his own life
for 3,0001., which additions increased to 3,9Ti31.
Upwards of thirty- Insurance Offices having been broken up
within a few years, and about fifty new ones having been pro-
jected within the ast two or three years, it may be necessary
to observe, that all the substantial advantages promised by such
new Offices have been long realised under the plans and ma-
nagement of the Provident Life Office.

LARGE REDUCTION OF PREMIUAIS ON SAFE

SECOND ANNUAL DIVISION OF PROFITS.
irTNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE
111.) SOCIETY, King William-street.--At the SEVENTH
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Society, a RE-
DUCTION of SIXTY PER CENT. has again been an-
nounced on the CURRENT PREMIUMS on all POLICIES
that have been in existence five years ; and the correctness of
the estimates, on which a similar division of profits was declared
last year, has been fully confirmed.
The premiums are thus reduced to a rate which will bear
comparison with any other office, while the principle is recog-
nised, whereby a scale, originally fixed on a safe and prudent
basis, is capable of reduction in due time dependent on the
successful progress of the Society.

SELECTORS,

SLAVERY STILL EXISTS WITHIN THE.BRITISH
DOMINIONS—exists to an almost incredible extent as to the
number of its victims, and the horrors of its oppression.
In Br.tish India, under the protection of the Crown of
England, Millions of our fellow-creatures—our fellow-subjects
—are hell, under different forms, in a state of abject Slavery ! 1
Slavery, under any form, is an evil of tremendous magni-
tude. It is to deprive human beings, male or' female, of that
liberty which is their birthright; to reduce them to a chattel,
and the level of a beast ; it is to place irresponsible power in
the hands of a petty tyrant, who may use it upon his victim,
according as he is impelled by.ctuelty, avarfice, anger, or lust.
Such is its character, and such at this very time are its effects
in British India, under the various forms of domestic or field
slaves, eunuchs, concubines, dancing girls (kept for purposes of
prostitution, the lawless pains of which come into the hands
of their masters). Slavery, sustained in its numbers by kid-
napping, breeding, by borne produce, or foreign importation
from Abyssinia, Africa, Arabia, and other parts of the world,
exists to the extent which has been stated in our dominions in
the East.

Your voice has been one heard, saying, " Africa, be free ;"
let it once more be heard for the oppressed children of the
East. In the British Senate must your demands be pre-
ferred, and the sentence be pronounced. In the approaching
appeal for your Votes, give them to no Candidate who will
not pledge himself to the steady uncompromising support of a
measure for the total and unqualified Abolition of Slavery--
abolition as great and perfect as that which has been effected
in the West.

FRIENDS OF HUMANITY,—You have not the same difficul-
ties to encounter as in the former case. No money will be
drained from the exhausted Exchequer of our country. Slavery
is not an essential part of the system of Indian caste. There
is no law, Hindoo or 111ahomedan, that requires its perpetuation
Your united efforts must be crowned with success !!

and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society,
