The WITHDRAWAL TABLE of the Society affords to the As-
sured the greatest possible present and prospective advantages that
can be conferred by Life Assurance. On this Tatre the Assured is
entitled. at any time, to receive at interest an immediate advance,
to the extent of one-half the amount of the paid annual Premiums,
without security, personal liability, or deposit of the Policy, but by
simple endorsement thereon or the half Premiuns may be with-
held during the whole continuance of the Policy. Also, in the
event of the Assured at any time not requiring to continue the
Policy, on its surrender one-halt of the annual payments will be
returned by the Society.
Lapsed Policies may be renewed without line, on proof of health
and payment of arrears of Premium without interest.

Notices of Assignment of Policies registeredWaTacknowledged,
so as to make them available as securities in the hands of
third parties.

Na Entrance Fees or any other charge beyond the Policy Stamp.
The present Initial income of the Society from Premiums is
63,0001.; t: ,e amount covered by the Policies of the Society is
,781,5801.; and the reserved profit, applicable to future bonus to
the Assured, amounts to 82,4541. ss. 6d. At the last annual inves-
tigation, reported in May, 1850, the bonuses declared to the As-
sured were, the option of a tetuin of 15 per cent, on their Premieres
in cash, or a reversionary a 'dition to the original sum assured by
each Policy varying from 20 to b 5 per cent.

Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.)

The leading principles of this Office ar3 - lifoderate and equitable
Rates or Premium for each class or risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
treat, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.

It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Prem.um for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
?roached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted n, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant anal, sis of its own
experience, from time to ti- e, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investigalon will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.

Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company apon
every description of Property on moderate I erms.
Farming Stock insured at 3s per cent, without the Average Clause.

tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY,
5, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.
The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company took place on the 25th Instant, at the Head
Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the
report, which is too lengthy for publication :
During the past year no claim, have arisen from deaths in England.
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 201:I1.—making
together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last
year.

The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1249, and
the 31st of Stay, 1650, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.
Prop.,sals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.:
of these 121, comcrising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.

Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums

Since the c, mmencenient of the Company to the Ist of June last,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6,1., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. I Is. 6d. Of these 64 lapsed,
amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,9911. 15e. I Id.

,rose last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,183/. lls. 10d. only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
last four months they had considerably extended their business on
the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
do l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters,
who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris,
the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisi& Evegne
de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con-
siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An-
nuities both Immediate and Deferred.

After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning
thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prospects.

LIVES OF THE PRINCESSES OF ENGLAND. VOL. 111.
BY MARY ANNE EVERETT GREEN, EDITOR OF TILE " LET-
TERS OF ROYAL AND ILLUSTRIOUS LADIES."—The nobility
will no doubt look forward with peat interest to the conti-
nuation of this interesting new series of regal biographies,
and the author of which has devoted's° many years of labour
research to their composition. Like the "Lives of the Queens
of England," they exhibit numerous curious and important
facts hitherto entirel:, unknown. The third volume, which
has just appeared, embraces an extended and remarkable
period of English history - from the First to the Fourth Ed.
ward. The life of Joanna of the Tower. the gentle and
true-hearted wife of David Bruce, leads through some of the
most stirring and memorable events recorded in the annals
of Scorn land ; whilst the biographies of the daughters of Ed.
ward 111. are fraught with numerous incidents illustrative of
the chivalric spirit of the age. Of the eldest, Isabella, and
her gallant husb,nd, Ingeirand Coucy, the details now given
are entirely new; and the same remark holds good in refer-
ence to the daughters of Henry IV. The generous courage
of the youngest of these princesses, Philippa, which proved
the salvation of her weak consort's kingdom of Denmark,
associated her with events such as seem to belong more to
the page of romance than of history. A marked contrast to
these scenes of triumph is furnished by the lives of the
daughters of Edward IV., nurtured on the steps of the
throne, exposed afterwards to the cruel machinations of their
false uncle Richard 'IL, regarded with watchful jealousy by
Henry VII., and dually sinking into obscure graves
