BY THE HALF PREMIUM PLAN only one-half of the first
seven years' premium is required, the Other half being payable at
at the convenience of the assured; thus allowing a Policy to be
continued for seven years at one-half of the usual rate, or to be
dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice, and entitling the assured,
seven years hence, when loss of health may prevent him from
effecting A new Assurance, to continue a Policy at a rate of premium
applicable to an age seven years younger. The Half-premium plan
of Assurance, as. practised by this Company, thus enables persons
to retain to their own. use the one-half of the premiums for the
first seven years, at 51. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or-
dinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be 101., the first pay-
ment by the half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the one-
half of the 101., and interest for the retained half; and, if death
should occur in the first year, the sum of 5001. would be paid less the
51. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year
of 51.; for the second, of 10/. ; and so on till the end of the
seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either
be repaid, or retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the
351. would be subtracted from the 5001. then payab. :Vibe Company.

SOCIETY.

SOUTITANrrO'N, FRIDAY.—A general meeting of the So-
ciety was held this morning at the Victoria-rooms, at which
the President elect, the Duke of Richmond, was inducted into
Office.

The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE, in proposing a vote of thanks
to the retiring President, Earl Spencer, spoke in the most
flattering terms of the conduct of that nobleman in his ex-
ertions, not only during the period of his office, but at all
times, to promote the interests of the; Society, and of the
agriculturists generally.
At the next annual meeting, which is to take place at
Shrewsbury, in addition to the prizes given this year to the
various classes of cattle, prizes will be given to the owners of
sheep best adapted to a mountain district. Prizes will also
be given for the best essays on the following subjects :

Nottingham. Competitors will be expected to describe the
different varieties of soil which prevail in the county, the
ordinary mode of farming and courses of cropping adopted
accordingly in its various districts, and to, state how far any
peculiar practices in its husbandry are, or are not justified
by peculiarities of soil or climate. They will also be ex-
pected to state what improvements have been made in the
farming of Nottinghamshire since the report of Mr. Robert
Lowe, in 1798 ; and especially to point out what farther im-
provements ought to be effected either by better farming on
land already cultivated, or by taking new land into culti-
vation.

Fifty sovereigns, or a piece of plate of that value, will be
given for the best report on the farming of the county. of
Cornwall. Competitors will be expected to give similar de-
tails to the foregoing of the varieties of soil and the peculiar
practices in the husbandry of this county, and to state what

gent, with the foregoing details, and to state what improve-
ments have bean made in the farming of Kent since the report
of Mr. John Boys.
