It is unnecessary in this Prospectus, to enlarge upon the advan-
tages of Life Assurance, or its adaptation to most of the exigencies
and relations in life. These benefits have been so extensively pub-
lished, that they are already well understood and appreciated.
This Company is formed for granting every description of Life
Assurance, Annuity, and Endowment ; Loans either for long or
short periods to persons effecting Assurances, upon receiving satis-
factory security for the payment of premium and interest, and the
repayment of the principal, by instalments or otherwise, as may be
agreed ; also for the purchase of Reversionary Interests, Policies of
Assurance, and every other description of property.
Persons borrowing money of the Company, upon approved se-
curity, and effecting a policy of Assurance for the amount bor-
rowed, will net 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 securi'r of a subscribed capital. With
this v"eve, four-fifths of the profit. OSLO lig from Policies affected by
parties on the terms of particip. profit.,
will be divided every three
years, after the first Ave 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.
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 II 6 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.
For persons who may wish to assure for short periods, er for the
whole of life, without participation in the profits, a scale has been
adopted, which is as moderate u it can be rendered eonsistentlywith
the interests of the Company.
The Assured may at all tines 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 Assurance. 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 :—lf 1,000 persons subscribe 100/. each, they or their respec-
tive nominees, being of an age to enter the elates in which the an-
nuity granted is 61. per cent. per annum, each subscriber or nominee
will, during the continuance of all the lives, receive an annuity of 61. ;
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 fbr life ; but as they re-
spectively die off, the 1,0001. per year which the deceased party re-
ceived will fall into the funds 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
individual, at some period of life, by prudently and legitimately ap-
propriating a comparatively small sum of money, which in any in-
stances would be otherwise uselessly expended, to secure indepen-
dence and comfort in their declining years.
Parents may also by these moans provide for their children.
Wealthy relatives for their poorer relations.
Applications for Shares, in the following form, to be directed to
Charles Barker, Esq., No. 46, Lincoln's Inn-fields :

Company ; and I hereby agree to accept the same, or any lees num-
ber you may allot me, and to pay the deposit of Two Shillings per

HENRY RUSSELL'S NKW SONGS.
" Man the Life goat."
" The Slave Ship."
•"l'he Sea-King,' s Burial."
" The Struggle for Fame."
" Little Fools and Great Ones."
" The Three Despots." (Ignorance, Intolerance, and War.)
" Last night Mr. Henry Russell gave one of his celebrated enter-
tainments, in which he introduced no less than six new composi-
tions. Amongst them, though all beautiful, we think The Life
Boat,' "l'he Struggle for Faille,' "The Feast of the Despots,' and
The Slave Ship,' to be amongst the most striking, original, and
effective of any of his compOsitions. Of the poetry of most of them,
taken from Mr. Charles Mackay's well-known Legends of the
Ises,' it is not necessary to speak; a crowded audience received
them with such repeated exclamations of delight as must have satis-
fied the eminent vocalist that he had added greatly to his rising and
well deserved reputation by these compositions."—Morning Paper.
