ECONOMY combined with Security.
The RATES of Premium are lower than tilose of any other office,
which entitle the assured to participate in the profits, and considerably
lower than those of any other Mutual Assurance Society.
The WHOLE of the PROFITS are divided every fifth year among
the Assured, and a Bonus is added, after the payment of the Fifth
Annual Premium to Policy effected on the participating Scale,
if a claim accrue thereon prior to the itext division of profits.
The BONUSES declared at the three former divisions (arising
from three-fourths only of the profits), averaged 16, 31, and 36 per
cent. respectively en the amount of Premiums paid.
The BONUS declared in 1649 (arising from the whole of tke pro-
fits), being the result of the operations of the Society during the last
five s ears upon the Mutual Principle, averaged 62K per cent. on the
Premiums received.
All Assurances effected during the year 1849, on the equal rate; of
Premium, will be entitled to participate in the profits to be declared
in 1854.

pany exceeded 530,0001.

vided such Policies shall have been effected a sufficient time to have
attained in each case a value not under 501.

r HE NOVELTY most recently introduced by
➢MESSRS. NICOLL is called NICOLL'S PATENT EIDER
DOWN PALETOT, such novelty consisting in the adaptation ef
Eider Dowa in the formation of NICOLL'S PALETOT, the original
elegance and utility ef which is, however, faithfully preserved.
Eiders are found in great numbers in Iceland and the Ferr
Islands, where their beautiful and delicate down is well knewn to he
proof against the most severe cold, and even the small quantit3
which can he compressed and concealed between the two hands, wil
nerve in the formation of a Palet6t, which, while it has most extra-
ordinary lightness, has, nevertheless, more warmth than the Aries'
and thickest blanket, the great desideratum for a winter garment
being thus accomplished, namely, personal warmth without fatigue.
Public inspection is invited at MESR.S. NICOLL'S whelesale and
retail warerooms,
114, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 32, COIZNIIILL,

riIiRISTMAS.—One of' the new patented inven-
tions called NICOLL'S EIDER DOWN PALETOT will
doubtless form a most acc-ntable gift at the approaching season of
festivity, when it is somewhat difficult to select the best token of
friendship or affection. The lightness and warmth of this garment
will render it highly serviceable for covering an evening costume
without causing the least disarrangement ; and from the peculiarity
of the formation of the whole it precludes the necessity for any mea-
surement being taken, as merely some slight description of height or
appearance will suffice to enable the patentees to supply an EIDER
DOWN PALETOT, at the cost of SIX GUINEAS, and which may
fairly be, described as one of the best preservatives of health ever yet
Introduced to the publio.

FENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE.
L The thousands of individuals who for upwards of twenty
years have used this eelebrated liquid, pronotince it to he the only
article extant which effectually changes, in a few minutes, red or
grey hair, whiskers, moustaches, &c., to a dark brown er black,
without trouble (by simply combing it through the hair), and pro-
duces by one application a pleasing and permanent change.
While other dyes destroy the hair by their pernicious properties,
this liquid promotes its growth, nourishing the roots to the latest
period of life. Persons who have been deceived by preparations

in their application, and unsatisfactory in their colour, will find

every respect, and that " none but itself can be its parallel." Price
