THIS IS Till-ONLY COMPANY who are 'bound by their deed
of constitution-not-to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that
it was obtained biefraudulent misrepresentation ; the great aim and
object having been to render Life Policies COMPLETE SECURI-
TIES and NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENTS, which shall *we their
value to the certainty of the contracts upon which they are founded,
and be independent of the liberality or caprice of those who shall he
in the management of tigs affairs of the Company when the clahms,
arise; and fir this purpose the Company have, by a clause in their
deed of constitution, unhesitatingly deprived themselves of the
power of objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to prove that
' it was obtained from them by fraudulent misrepreientation. The
regulations -e•mraon to all other Life Companies, vrhith make the
validity of assurance contracts dependett upon the perfect correct-
ness of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life
Policy, and which have given rise to- almost all the questions which
have been argued in the courts, and to many extra-judicial com-
promises; ire thus entirely abrogated; and nothing but fraud, proved
to have been committed against them, can vitiate a policy granted by
this Company. -
THIS IS Till ONLY COMPANY from whom the assured on the
mutual' principle receive the.whole of .the mutual accumulations,
and also *guaranies front-the Shareholders for the sums assured.
TI/15 IS Till ONLY .COMPANY who bind themselves to pay
the stunin de policies; althbngh the debts for which they were
effected sail have been liquidated before. the claims arise. The
Company cidsidering It only'just towards the assured that where
premittinS have been,pahl for assuring a olven amountytkat amount-
should be paid ; and they undertake to do so without feference to
_the state of the accounting between the assured and Itisdebtor.'
THIS IS ALMOST Till ONLY COMPANY who grant is favour,
-of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt- le' secured,
although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe,
Ple premiums calculated according to the carliela'Tablek,are,
lower than usual upon younglives, wheraparticipntiOn In the,prinits
Is not required; and fpr, Atkott assurances, which, at the option of the
assured, may be contlesed for life, the rates are as low as A die re-
gard to-c,cMfiletaseturity will permit.

'DISASTROUS GAL B S.—Tbe BO 'AR I). of
MANAGEMENT of the SHIPWRECKED FISHERMEN
and MARINERS' BENEVOLENT SOCIETY have received letters
from various of their auxiliary branches, containing the Most paint%
accounts of the wrecks occasioned by the late unexpected gales. In
many instances fishermen and mariners have perished, leaving their
Widows, orphans, and aged parents in complete destitution ; .and fit
other cases where the lives of dice crows of vessels and boats hay
boen preserved, the men have lost all that they possessed, and been
landed at adistance from their own homes.

The demands upon the Binds of the Society have, <there-
fore, been both heavy and numerous to administer to the notes=
sines of the surviving I.elatlyes of the deceased, and to clothe,
shelter, and forward to their families the castaway mariners.
The Board of Management entreat thatthe public will continue to
reader them that assistance which they-have hitherto so generously
afforded.

It may be mentioned, as one amongst the benefits which this , In-
stittition must-confer upon the inhabitants_ of this kingdom, inland
as well_ as upon the coast, that it mmt put kik end to the practice of
imposters travelling the country, representing themselves Its shil-
wrecked,seamen, inasmuch the public, feeling assured.that trug.

and by contributing to this Institution (the annual subscription to
