ber, 1857; amounted, to ,X 617,801, invested in Government or

DEPUTY CIIAIRMAN.—CHATMES BERWICK C•IIIITIS,Esq.
INVALID LlVES.—Persons not in sound health may have
theif lives insured at equitable rates.
ACCOMMODATION IN PAYMENT OF PREMIUM.—OnIy one-
half of the,Annual Premium, when the insurance is for life,
requires to be paid for the 'kid live sears, simple interest be-
ng charged on the balance. Such arrangement is equivalent
to ati,bumediate advance of 50 per cent. upon the annual pre
velum, without the borrower having recourse to the unplea-
sant necessity of procuring sureties, or assigning and thereby
parting with his Policy, during the currency of the Loan,
irrespective of the great attendant expenses in such arrange-
ment.
The above mode of insurance has been found most advan-
tageous 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 Companies before the present system was
instituted by this Office.
LOANS—Are granted likewise on real and personal Secu-
rities. - • _

plication to the Resident Director,
