Tile objects of this Association are twofold—the Insurance of Ships
and the Advancing of Money by way of Loan, secured by mortgage
on shipping. Each branch affords its own share of individual profit ;
but the two operations, judiciously combined, will evidently be pro-
ductive of highly remunerative results to the proprietary.
The Immense fortunes known to have been realised by individuals
who have advanced money upon the security of shipping, with an
assignment of the policy of assurance, afford the best guarantee of the
soundness of the principle upon which the Association is founded.
The almost incredible number of British shipping under mortgage,
shown by the books of the Registrar-General of Customs, exhibits a
wide field for the operations of the Association. The great' bulk, if
not all of these loans, have been obtained upon exorbitant terms by
the small owner from his more wealthy neighbour, who may look
rather to the obtaining possession of the vessel by foreclosure than
to the eligibility of the security as an investment.
The Association will advance a sum of money, in no case exceed.
ing two-thirds of the vessel's value, upon the report of its surveyors ;
which loan shall be secured by mortgage upon the whose ship and
earnings by freight, the policy of insurance effected with the Asso-
ciation remaining in its hands until the termination of the period
for which the loan has been granted.
Among the many advantages it holds out, the following are not
the least:—
To the Shipowner, the certainty of obtaining, at a moderate rate,
and without injury to his credit, pecuniary assistance when he most
requires it. •
The opportunity of relieving himself from mortgages beating an
exorbitant interest, and, effecting them with the Association at an
equitable rate.
To the Shipbuilder, particularly when building for the market,
either at home or in our colonies, by placing him in a position less
dependent upon immediate sale at an unfavourable season.
To both, a participation in the profits of the Association -by be-

ming shareholders.
The Association embodies the following advantages for its Pro-
prietary :
The immediate certainty of securing a very large number of poli-
cies of insurance, since, although insurances will be taken without
loans, no loan will be granted unless the policy be effected with the
Association ; hence the double profit which will arise from these t .ve
sources.
A total absence of risk to the shareholders.
It may be added that an extensive connexion has been already
formed in the leading ontports, and insurance business to a large
amount secured for the Association.
The same machinery sufficing for the working of the double prin-
ciple here exhibited, the expenses of management will not exceed
those of any ordinary marine insurance-office.
The necessary Parliamentary notices for an Act of Incorporation
have been duly given in the Gazettes of November, 1845.
The whole sum required for the preliminary expenses has been
advanced by the London members of the Committee of Management.
Applications for shares, in the usual form, may be made to the
Committee of Management, and addressed to any of the above-named
officers of the Association, to the solictors, or to any of the following
agents, from whom more detailed prospectuses may be had :—Wm.
Cafferata, Esq., Exchange-buildings, Liverpool; Messrs. Flint and
Toots', Hull; Messrs. Drewry and Richardson, Newcastle-on• Tyne ;

FSUITABLE 130 N US REASSURANCE.
-ILA This system,' ,rmerly originated by the ASYLUM OFFICE,
to meet the circomstal.ces of the favoured 5,000 Equitable Policy-
holders for the h mus of 1830, and since continued for the decennial
period to 1840, is now in operation for 1850.
The advantages of this system are especially worthy of the atten-
tion of policy-holders now included within the 5,000, for in the event
of death before 1850, the per centages occurring since the last divi-
sion will defray the expense of the protective policy, and secure the
fullest amount of bonus awarded by the Equitable to survivors only.
The Asylum Re-assurance thus enables policy-holders in case the
lives assured pre-decease the period, to derive the same pecuniary
advantages as if such lives had been included among the survivors.
Further particulars may be obtained by application to the Resi-
dent Director, at the Asylum Company's Office, No. 70, Cornhill,
London.
