which three annual premiums had been paid in the December
previous.
A division of the profits takes place every five years, and the hold-
ers of beneficial policies can receive their bonuses in ready money, or
have them applied in augmentation of their policies, or in reduction
of their future premiums
Assurers may contract to pay their Premiums either in one sum, in
a given number ofpavments, in annual, half-yearly, or quarterly pay-
ments, or on the ascending or descending scale.

To the FROFRIETORS of the BRITANNIA LIFE ASSURANCE

COMPANY.
GENTLEMEN,—In calling your attention to the annexed Notice of
the establishment of a Mutual Assurance Branch, I beg leave to
address a few observations to you relative to the past transactions,
and the probable result of the proposed extension of the operations of
the Company.
That the Company
an Company has enjoyed the decided and (I
trust I may be permitted to say) deserved approbation of the public
is clearly proved by the unprecedented fact of upwards of 6,00,0
policies having been issued in the short space of eight years. In
order, however, to show the high degree of credit and influence pos-
ceased by the Company, it is only necessary for me to state, that two
highly respectable and well-established Life Assurance Companies
have successively transferred their business to this establishment.
The former of these transfers took place in the year 1840 ; the
latter in the course of the past year.

but the large and continually-increasing fund, accunndated from the
Premiums on 6,000 Policies already effected in that Branch, consti-
tutes an immediately available fund for the payment of the claims of
the Assured, who will thus enjoy all the security afforded by an old
established office, and, at the same time, become entitled to all the
benefits to be derived from that system of Mutual Assurance which
experience has proved to be at the same time-the safest and the best.
Another serious objection to the Mutual Assurance Plan (as gene-
rally acted on) is the high rate of premium required to be paid, in
person assured,. and applying
the diet instance, in order to form a fund—not only for the payment
of the claims, but also for the distribution of large bonuses among the
policy-holders. This objection also is entirely removed by means of
the half credit system detailed in the prospectus. For, by allowing
half the amount of the first five annual premiums to remain for five
the bonus (to
years

tion of the debt thus incurred with the Company, the policy-holder
enjoys

SIGHT AND HEARING TESTIMONIALS.
39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY. General
Browne Clayton feels desirous to express the comfort
and advantage he has derived at his advanced age of 70
years, and after two years' trial, from the use of Messrs.
S. and B. Solomons newly invented Spectacles. Their
valuable inventions fully merit the patronage they have
received. Address, Adlington-hall, Lancashire.
Major-General Sir Howard Elphinstone begs to say that
the Spectacles he has now had some time in use, have
fully redeemed the assurance of the Messrs. S. and B.
Solomons as to their excellence, and having found so
much comfort and advantage from their use, far prefer-
able to every other kind of glasses. 13, Norfolk-street,

and B. Solomons, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, op-
posite the York Hotel. Gentlemen, I approve very much
of the Spectacles I purchased from you ; I have made
use cf glasses for many years, and never met with any
to enable me to see equal to yours, and with less incon-
venieryze to my eyes. Yours obediently, G. Cavendish

WRONG SIDE OF A STREET.—A remarkable proof
of the effect which this idea has upon property is in-
stanced in the fact of the immense premises of Messrs.
Rundell and Bridge, on Ludgate-hill, having remained
for so long a period without finding a tenant, although
in the most public thoroughfare in London, and, from
their spacious and admirably lighted galleries, adapted
to very many trades. After having been to let for nearly
three years,_ during which period the rental has been
gradually reduced to a fraction of what they at one
time commended, they have been leased to a Mr. Smith,
late of Graham and Smith, who, it would appear, was
connected with the late house of Everington's, as the
selector of the various Continental and British menu-
factures for which that establishMent was celebrated—
an appointment requiring no ordinary judgment and
ability; and, it seems, that having acted in defiance to
the popular notion above alluded to, he intends tempting
the public to his aid by giving it the benefit of
the
thousands he has saved in the purchase of his least.
