THE HALF-PREMIUM plan of Assurance, as practised
by this Company, 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 ordinary premium for an
assurance of 5001. to be 101., the first payment 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
Si. 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
payable by the Company.
To entitle persons to participate in the profits of the assured
on the mutual principle applicable to the year from February,
1843, to February, 1844 (which profits are wholly divided
amongst that class), Proposals of Assurance must be lodged
at the Head-Office, or with any of the Agents of the Company,
on or before Tuesday, the 6th of February next.
Every information may be obtained by personal or written
application to the Agents of the Company, or to the Manager
in London.

THE ONLY GENUINE PECTORAL
B ALSAM OF HONEY, for Coughs, Colds, Asthmas,
Ac. Invented by Sir JOHN HILL, M.D.
Sir John Hill, who was a very eminent Physician, recommended
this excellent preparation as the most salutary and effectual remedy
for all disorders of the Breast and Lungs : and many years' experience
has confirmed the recommendation in the immediate relief and gra-
dual cure of Coughs, Colds, Asthmas, and Consumptions. It is the
greatest preserver of the Lungs.ever discovered, and contains all the
healing, softening, and soothing qualities of that salubrious extract of
FLOWERS, called HONEY. Professional Gentlemen do not hesi-
tate to recommend it, as it never disagrees with the Stomach, and
common Colds, in most cases, yield to its beneficial effects in a few
hours. It is necessary, therefore, to notice, that the genuine prepa-
ration will have engraved on the Government Stamp, " Edwards, 67,

AMUSING ANECDOTE OF TILE QUEEN.—It is stated
that on one occasion, when on a visit to Wentworth
House, the Royal party were perambulating the
grounds, when, being in advance of the rest, the
Princess Victoria was respectfully cautioned by an
under gardener not to go down a certain walk, as the
rain had made the ground " slape." " Slape ! slape !"
retorted the Princess, with the characteristic ra-
pidity and inquisitiveness of her illustrious grand-
father, George III.;" " and pray what is slape ?"
" Very slippery, Miss—your Royal Highness—Ma'am!"
replied the worthy man. " Oh! that's all," she rejoined;
" thank you !" and, as she proceeded, resolved to
try this slape" ground against which she had
been cautioned ; but she had not proceeded far when
the gardener's predictions were realised, and down she
fell. " There !" shouted the noble owner of the
grounds, who had observed all that•had passed from a
short distance, and who, on perceiving that no injury
was done to his noble and young guest, laughed most
heartily; "now your Royal Highness has received an
explanation of the term 'slape, both theoretically and
practically !" " Yes, my Lord," rejoined the good-
humoured Victoria, "I think I have. I shall never forget
the word slape.' "—Fraser's Magazine.
