them, they are permitted to accommodate their payments to
their circumstances, or to discontinue them altogether; and
even further, if needful to possess themselves .gain of the
whole or any portion of the amount deposited during a series
of years, together with the accumulation to which the po-
licy may have become entitled ; while to parents and those
interested in the welfare of young persons, it offers such a
beneficial mode of investment as cannot fail to be fully ap-
preciated.
The advantages thus developed the directors believed to
be as many and great as can be derived through the medium
of life assurance, and the accumulative plan miay be consi-
dered as supplying all that was eficient in the ordinary sys-
tem. It exactly provides for the wants of those who desire
that pecuniary provision in the event of death should ad-
vance with the increasing necessity for it; while to those
who at any time wish to terminate their arrangements of
this kind, it suggests a mode by which their object may be
attained with the least possible loss or expense. As a pro-
vision for the young it must be considered invaluable, as at
once guarding the parent from loss, while offering to the
child an example of prudence and a stimulus to exertion.
The directors of the City of London Life M.surance Com-
pany, in concluding this short explena ion of the accumu-
lative principle as applied to increase the usefulness of life
assurance, venture to express their full confidence in the po-
pularity which it will acquire. They have resolved to carry
it out in the way which will most conduce to its success,
with caution and economy; and in endeavouring to secure
the best scientific advice and assistance to guide them in the
outset of their plan, they desire to give the strongest possible
pledge that their subsequent course will be marked by a
rigid regard to the security of the iuterests entrusted to their
Management. . _ . .

As the system of Accumulative Assurance is peculiar to
the City of London Life Assurance Society, the directors,
in introducing it to the public, would only further state that
the calculations respecting it have been made expressly for
them by Air. J. M. Rainbow, their consulting actuary, whose
talents and experience will be a sufficient guarantee for ac-
curacy and security.

WARWICKSHIRE AND LONDON

RAILWAY.

A special general meeting of the scripholders in the
Warwickshire and London Railway Company was held on Sa-
turday, in pursuance of Sir R. Peel's sessional orders, at the
Euston- square Station of the London and Birmingham Rail-
way, for the purpose of approving or otherwise of the fol-
lowing Bills :

A Bill for making a Railway from or near the city of
Worcester to the London and Birmingham Railway, in the
parish of Weedon, with a branch to Alcester.

A Bill for making a Railway from the London and Bir-
mingham Railway, in the parish of Hampton-in-Arden, in the
county of Warwick, to the Birmingham and Gloucester

A Bill for making a Railway from the London and Bir-
mingham Railway, in the parish of Hampton-in •Arden, in
the county of Warwick, to the town of Banbury, in the
county of 'Oxford.
Mr. G. CAun GLYNN was voted to the chair, and in open-
ing the bu--iness or the meeting, he said he held in his hand
a note from Lord Warwick, who was the provisional chair-
man of the Company, in which the Noble Lord expreised his
regret at being unable to attend, in consequence of a pressing
engagement. He need not go • into the merits of the Bill,
because they had already been fully detailed some four or
five times. They had all passed through standing orders,
and now stood for committal in the week commencing the
Bth of June, when the tug of war would be again re-
resumed.—(Cheers.)
The Bills were then formally approved of, and the meet-
ing, which did not last more than five minutes, terminated.
