The Committee of Management of this Company have effected an
amalgamation with the Dudley, Madeley, Broseley, and Ironbridge
Railway Company, on terms which are advantageous to the Share-
holders of both Companies. The liability of the Shareholders of this
'Company will be reduced from 501. Shares to Shares of 251., and Two
Shares will be issued td the Shareholders of the Dudley and Madeley
Company for Three of their Shares. By this arrangement the Capital
and Parliamentary Deposit of 10 per cent., and the capital requisite
for the entire scheme of this Company, including a line from Dudley
to Madeley next year,.will be secured.
The reduction of the nominal amount of the Shares renders it ne-
cessary for the Shareholders of this Company to have their Scr
Certificates stamped. They are, therefore, requested to send themip
to the Company's Office for that purpose.

Assurance,
Persons borrowing money of the Company, upon approved se-
curity, and effecting a policy of Assurance r the amount bor-
rowed, will not be called upon for the repayment of the loan, so
long as the interest and premium are regularly paid. Thus a party
borrowing 1,000/. upon security of his estate, and an assignment of
a policy on his life, would at his decease leave his estate unencum-
bered, the SUM assured being applied by the Company to repay its
advance.
The premiums are based upon data derived from the most recent
and authentic sources, presenting a moderate and equitably•adjusted
scale.
One of the principal objects of the Company is to assimilate its
benefits as nearly as possible to those of Mutual Assurance
Societies, with the additional security of a subscribed capital. With
this view, four-fifths of the profits, arising from Policies affected by
parties on the terms of participation, will be divided every tkree
years, after the first five years, among those who assure for the
whole term of life. The sum so divided among the Assured to be
applied to the reduction of the annual premium, or added to the
sum assured as bonus, or paid in present value, at the option of the
Assured.
For persons who may wish to assure for short periods, or for the
whole of life, without participation in the profits, a scale has been
adopted, which is as moderate as it can be rendered consistently with
the interests of the Company.
Parties may also effect the assurance by payment of one-half only
of the premiums for a stipulated term of years—the interest upon
the unpaid portion of the premiums, at the rate of 5 per cent. per
annum, being annually paid In advance. Upon payment of the
arrear of the premiums, the Assured will be entitled to a full parti-
cipation of the profits.
The Assured may at all times borrow an amount equal to the value
of the policy, on its security.
In all the transactions of the Company the utmost liberality will
be exercised.
Life Assurances will be effected with all the advantages to the
assured afforded by the most respectable established companies.
A Table of Premiums will shortly be published.
TONTINE ANNUITIES.
This Company, in submitting the subject of Tontine Annuities to
the public, is Influenced by the belief that there are many persons,
who from the hope of longevity, and the desire of ease and affluence
as they progress through life, will gladly avail themselves of this
mode of investment ;—by which they will secure a large remunera-
tive and increasing income, guaranteed to them by the Company
during their own lives or the lives of their nominee.
The following is an illustration of the principle of the Tontine An-
nuities 1,000 persons subscribe 1001. each, they or their respec-
tive nominees, being of an age to enter the class in which the an-
nuity granted is 6/. per cent. per annum, each subscriber or nominee
will, during the continuance of all the lives, receive an annuity of 6/. ;
but as the lives drop, the share of the deceased parties will be
divided among the survivors, until they are reduced to six, each of
Whom will then receive 1,0001. per annum for life ; but as they re-
spectively die eff, the 1,0001. per year which the deceased party re-
ceived will fall into the fluids of the Company, for the benefit of the
shareholders ; and so in proportion for a larger or smaller number of
subscribers or their nominees.
This mode of investment will place it in the power of almost every
phrtdoipyriidaudanl, at some period of life, by prudently and legitimately ap-

LOW RATES OF PREMIUM.

In addition to the subscribed Capital of 300,000/., the Assured have
the security of the Company's rapidly increasing income, and an
accumulating Assurance Fund invested in Government and other
available securities, of considerably larger amount than the esti-
mated liabilities of the Company.

. -
The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale compatible
with the security of the Assured and the stability of the Company,
thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder an immediate and
certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently
delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits.

- - -
For some years before the late mischievou; movement against
railway interests on the part of the " Times" newspaper, it had
been evident to all persons engaged in business, that in giving their
advertisements to that journal they were themselves encouraging
and fostering a newspaper which, while it derived the principal part
of its support from the industry and energy of the mercantile and
commercial classes of the community. was acting in every way
against their interests.

But however unwilling those classes might be to lend their aid to
such ajournal by sending to it their advertisements, it was compul-
sory upon them to do so, from the fact of the large circulation of the
" Times " rendering it the only existing medium for obtaining the de-
sirable publicity. A remedy or an alternative was sought in vain ;
the existence of a journal, with a circulation to answer the purposes
of a sufficient publicity for advertisements, remained a desideratum.
This want appears to be now supplied by the " Iron Times," and
the projectors of the "Iron Times" Newspaper Company have per-
ceived—in the manner in which that journal has recently assumed
the character of a General Morning Newspaper, and the skill and
talent which have been displayed in supporting that character—s
power of expaneion and development which, if duly supported by an
amount of capital immediately available, must inevitably render the
" Iron Times " the leading journal of the age.
Founded on the basis of the " Iron Times " as a Railway News-
paper, the " Iron Times," as a General Newspaper,
has a point
d'appui to start from, such as it has never hitherto been the good
fortune of any journal to attain.
To the success of a newspaper there are two points necessary—
circulation and advertisements. These combined—or even one of
them singly—have never, in any instance, been arrived at without a
great outlay and risk of capital ; both of these, however, the " Iron
Times " has at starting. It has but to add to them.
Actuated by this impression, and desirous to insure the perma-
nence of an honest and independent Daily Morning Newspaper, the
property of no clique, either political or literary, a Company has
been constituted for the purpose of purchasing the " Iron Times,"
and infusing into it that amount of immediately-available capital,
which alone appears necessary to insure its increased usefulness as
a public journal, and an increased ratio of profits to all parties con-
cerned.

As a commercial speculation the success of the " Iron Times" is a
matter of public notoriety, and the Committee of Management of
the Company, from the examination of the books, accounts, &c.,
have no hesitation in announcing the probability of a return of at
least twenty-dye per cent., or ss. per share, on the capital invested.
To carry into effect the objects of the promoters of the Company,
it is intended to create a capital of 63,000!., divided into 60,000 shares
of it. is. each--the whole to be paid up. None of these shares will
be allotted to the public until complete registration, which will be per-
fected in the course of a iew days.
By arrangements with the present proprietor of the journal, a
limited number, notexceeding 4,000 shares, will be issued in the first
instance, at par ; after which there will be a further issue of a
similar number at 11. prem. per share ; the remainder at such
periods and at such prices as the Committee of Management shall de-
termine, and the augmented value and importance of the property
of the Company shall demand. _ .

The arrangements for the protection of the interests of the share-
holders—for a pre-emption in favour of original subscribers, for sub-
sequent issue of shares, for the limitation of their liability, and
for the regulation and management of the undertaking—have been
matured; and the deed of settlement to carry these arrangements
into legal effect, is now under the consideration of counsel.
Application for shares, and all communicatio m respecting the un-
dertaking, are to be addressed to H. Edwards, the Secretary, at the
office of the Company, 41, Moorgate-street, London.
To the Committee of Management of the " Iron Times" News-

paper Company

Gentlemen,—l request you will allot me Shares, or
such less number as you shall determine, in the Capital Stock of
the " Iron Times" Newspaper Company; and I hereby engage to pay
the sum of One Pound One Shilling upon each Share that shall be
appropriated to me, and to execute the Deed of Settlement of the
Company when required, it being distinctly understood that my
liability is limited to £1 Is. per Share, and that under no circum-
stances I shall be called upon for any further or other sum.
I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant.
