By the new principles of Life Assurance and Deferred An-
nuities, 'ounded by this Society, the moral obligation of all
classes of making a provision for a family or for old age is
largely enhanced, by the immediate advantages secured to the
Assured themselves.
The details of the principles of the Society, its improvement
in the system of Assurance, its economical arrangements in
favour of the Assured, its extensive Tables, &c., will be found
in its Prospectus, which may be obtained at the Offices of the

FOR MUTUAL ASSURANCE.

AGENERAL ACCOUNT of the RE-
CEIPTS and PAYMENTS of the CORPORATION for
RELIEF of SEAMEN in the MERCHANTS' SERVICE, their
Widows and Children, for the year 1839.

This Society APPROPRIATES the WHOLE of the PRO-
FITS to the reduction of the Premiums of its Members, and this
is UNDIMINISHED by AGENCY or COMMISSION, the
business of the Society being conducted without incurring that
expense. The effect of the principle of Mutual Assurance, so
CARRIED OUT, is shown by the abatement of FORTY per Cent.
eclared for the ensuing year, upon the Premiums of Members of
;ye Years' standing, and which abatement has been computed
on ata justifying the expectation of the continuance of an
equal rate of abatement, at least, throughout the remaining
term of life.
