SUN LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY, London.
The Profits of this Society will be divided in future, Quin-
quennially instead of Septennially ; and Policio will participate at
each division, af. cr three annual payments of premium have been
made, instead of five as heretofore.

Policies effected now, or before Midsummer, 1660, will participate
in four-fifths, or S 0 per cent., of the profits at the next division in
January, 1863, according to the conditions cent: fined in the Society's
Prospectus.

The Premiums required by this Society for insuring young lives
are lower than in many other old ettablished Oftlces, and Insurers
are fully protected from all risk by an ample guarantee fund in
addition to the accumulated funds derived from the investments
of Premiums.

Po'icy Stamps paid by the Office.
Prospectifses may be obtained at the Office in Threadneedle-
street, London, or of any of the Agents of the Society.

The Funds or Property of the Company, as at 31st December,

INVALID LlVES.—Persons not in sound health may have their
lives insured at equitable rates.
ACCOMMODATION IN LOAN TRANSACTIONS.-0111y one-half of the
Annual Premium, when the insurance i 3 for life, requires to be
paid for the first five years, simple interest being charged on the
balance. Such arrangement is equivalent to an immediate advance
of 50 per cent. upon the Annual Premium, without the borrower
basin?: recourse to the unpleasant necessity of procuring sureties,
or assigning and thereby parting with his Policy, during the cur-
rency of the loan, irrespective of the great attendant expenses in
such arrangements.
The above mode of insurance has been found most advantageous
when policies have been required to cover monetary transactions,
or when incomes applicable for insurance are at present limited, as
it only necessitates half the outlay formerly required by other com-
panies before the present system was instituted by this office.
Loans are granted likewise on real and personal seCtiities.
ADVANTAGE OF INSURING BEFORE DEC.3I, 1855.—Policies effected
before this date will participate to a greater extent/ than it delayed
after that period.
