By its zeal.in the cause of progress, and its staunch de- °tier): to
the interests of the People, the D tsrA ['CH has become a terror to
the upholder of abuses, and a powerful auxiflary on behalf of the
oppressed, whose wrongs will always meet with sympathy and
exposure.
Encouraged by their success, and, anxious to extend thc s• here of
their Political Influence and ocial Utility, the Proprietors have re-
solved on the proposed Enlargement of the DISPATCH, which here-
after will answer the purpose of
FOUR NEWSPAPERS,
and thus accommodate four readers at one and the same time.
The columfis of the DISPATCH will still continuo to be enriched
by the powerful contributions of
" PUBLICOLA." " C AUSTIC," " CENSORIUS," ELIZA COOK,
and other writers eminently distinguished for their literary attain-
ments, and whose opinions have ever advocated the cause of the
People, in opposition to tyranny and injustice. •It may also be ob-
served, that the POOR MAN will always receive LEGAL ADVICE
and assistance, as heretofore, from the DISPATCH.
A !mindful New Type has been cast, on which the DISPATCH
will next year be printed.

ments on pr before Friday Afternoon. otherwise 110 attention can be

DEFERRED ANNUITIES.
By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con•
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
Ike following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving caa secure
through this Society.
