. This line, which will commence at Leicester, and proceed- from
thence by or near to Market Ilarborough, Bothwell, Kettering, Wel-
lingborough, to Wilford, is intended to supply the wants of a very
rich and thickly populated district of country lying between Leicester,
and Bedford, and to afford a much shorter and more direct commu-
nication between the first mentioned place and London.
The existing and projected lines of railway form the most direct
route from Manchester, Leeds, Derby, Sheffield, Nottingham, and the
North of England to London, by way of Leicester, and the present
line will be the nearest one from that place to the metropolis which
exists or can be projected.
The line will pass through the richest grating land in the kingdom,
and will &rive a considerable traffic in the conveyance of cattle from
thence to the London markets.

Second—FlßE ASSURANCE for Railway buildings only.
Third—COMPENSATION to Persous travelling by Railways in
case of Accident, for Sixpence per annum, per 1001., in addition to
their Life policies, with an eighth of the profits for a Charitable Fund

Prospectus, which will be issued in a few days.

ations, will be pleased to renew their applications.

Esq., Solicitor to the Company, 52, Moorgate-street, • London ; or to
J. J. Teesdale, Secretary.

means of this railway, the wants of the counties of. Bedford, Hunt-
ingdon, Hertford, Essex, and Cambridge, in this most necessary

per cent.
Se soon as the surveys are completed, a detailed Prospectus with
the names of the gentlemen forming the highly influential local
Committees, will be published. In the meantime, the promoters-are
justified in stating that the railway will be made at an average ex-
pense, and that the traffic will Insure an ample return upon the
capital required.
The Subscribers will not be liable to any further call until the Act
is obtained, and power will be applied for to allow Interest a 44 per
cent. upon the amount paid up until the opening of the line.
Tim Directors reserve liberty to themselves to alter the proposed
route, or to extend the railway as they may think expedient.

In the LIFE DEPARTMENT, a Bonus was declared in June
1929, exceeding one per cent. per annum on the sums insured, on an
average of the different Ages ; and two subsequent divisions of nearly
equal amounts were made up to Christmas 1835 and Christmas 1842.
On an average of the three divisions the Reversionary Bonuses added
to the several Policies at the end of every seven years amounted to
about 27 per cent. on the total premiums paid thereon during those
seven years, and the whole amount of Bonuses allotted at the three
Septennial divisions exceeded 530,0001.
In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of profit was declared
on the sth of June, upon the premiums received OH all Policies
which had been in force seven years at Christmas 1843, and the same
is now in course of payment daily (Friday and Saturday excepted)
between the hours of ten and three o'clock.

The TWENTIETH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of this
Society was held on the 10th of April last, when a highly satisfac-
tory REPORT was laid before the Proprietors and Policy Ilolders,
and unanimously adopted.
The Public will see the advantage of selecting, ins() important a
matter as Life Assurance, a well-established office, which, from its
continued prosperity, and, its large 'additions to policies, offers the
greatest inducement to Assurers, combined with the undoubted se-
curity of a numerous and wealthy proprietary.

BRITANNIA LIFE ASSURANCE COM-
PANY, 1, Princes•street, Bank, and 448, west Strand, Lon-
don, March 1, 1845. -
Notice is hereby given, that in purmance of a resolution passed
unanimously at two successive General Meetings of Proprietors, a
MUTUAL ASSURANCE BRANCH of this Institution has been
established on terms peculiarly advantageous to the Assured, and
that such Branch is supported by the entire subscribed capital of the
Company, together with the accumulated flind of Premiums derived
from upwards of Six Thousand Policies, already effected in the Pro-
prietary Branch.
Full particulars are stated in the Prospectus, which, with every re-
quisite information, ma lee obtained on application at the office.

the establishment of a Mutual Assurance Branch, I beg leavelo
address a few observations to you relative to the past transactions,
and the probable result of the proposed extension of the operations of
h
Britannia" Company has enjoyed the decided and (I
t permitted to say) deserved approbation of the public,
the
is :T.
trust Company.il lat ri nityi proved3:e:
by the unprecedented fact of upwards of 6,000
policies having been issued in the short space of eight years. In
order, however, to show the high degree of credit and influence pos,
sessed 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.
It is in consequence of this last-mentioned transfer, which included
a large number of Policies effected on the mutual assurance plan, and
also in consequence of the numerous applications for Assurances on
this plan, which they have hitherto been compelled to decline, that
the Directors at length determined on the establishment of a Mutual
Assurance Branch, en the plan set forth in the Prospectus, after it
had been submitted to, and unanimously approved by, two succes-
sive General Meetings of Proprietors, specially convened on the
occasion.
Tile general objection to Mutual Assurance Societies, that (in their
infancy, at least) they do not afford that complete security to the
Assured which is supplied by the subscribed capital of Proprietary,
Establishments, is completely removed in the Mutual Branch of the
"Britannia" Company ; for not only are the Mutual Policy-holders
protected by the entire subscribed capital of the Proprietary Branch,
but the large and continually-increasing fund, accumulated from the
Premiums on 6,000 Policies already effected in that Branch, consti-
tutes an immediately available find 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 Asstfrance Plan (as gene-
rally acted on) is the high rate of premium required to be paid, in
the flat instance, in order to form a Rind—not only for the payment
of the claims, but also for the distribution of largebonuses 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
years in the hands of the person assured, and applying the bonus (to
which he would otherwise become entitled) to the gradual
.liquida-
tion of the debt thus incurred with the Company, the policy-holder
enjoys the rare advantage of a very low rate of premium, in the first;
instance, combined with that of a full participation, eventually, in
the profits.
