The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-

ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or forfeiture--the great reduction of rates on short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to
stilt the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the Mil benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the Society's great success sad growing prosperity enabled the Di-
rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a us averagin fifty-five per cent. on the
amount already investebod ; n
and this bonus, according to an equitable

OUR SUPPLEMENTS GRATIS,
WITH THE DISPATCH.
The extraordinary demand for the-Dispatch of yesterday, Feb. 11,
with a Second Supplement, extended to 165,000 impressions, and
affords the Proprietors the gratification of finding that the exertions
they made to furnish their readers with a perfect History of the
great National Trial is fully appreciated.
In addition to the quantity of matter given, the Proprietors of the
Dispatch, to do justice to this interesting business, spare neither pains
or expense to secure the earliest possible intelligence ; and by the ju-
dicious arrangements made at both Dublin and Liverpool, they were
enabled exclusively to publish, in a Second Edition, yesterday, a re-
port of the Judge's Charge to the Jury up to the close on Friday.
To render the Supplements to the Dispatch truly acceptible to
their patrons, the Proprietors have been induced, by the length of
the proceedings, to alter their original plan, and instead of present-
ing Two Supplements, they will extend it tq FOUR, thus rendering
the record of this memorable trial both ample and complete.
A Reprint of the Supplements already issued will take place in the
course of the week, when early applications will ensure the posses-
sion of this invaluable historical register.
Orders for the Dispatch are received by every News Agent and
Bookseller in the kingdom ; and by Mr. Wood, at the Dispatch
Office, 139, Fleet-iireet.
