NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR-
ANCE SOCIETY,
26, CORNIIILL, LONDON.
Capital £500,000.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.
The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par-
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 beet to
suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciate 4 by the public, that
the :society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-
rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the
amount already invested ; ansi this bonus, according to an equitable
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future
premiums

perfect security in a large paid-up Capital, and in the great success
which has attended it since its commencement in 1834, its ANNUAL
INCOME being UPWARDS of 60,000/.
In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Shareholders of
one-half of their Stock, and also added a Bonus of 2/. per cent. per
annum, on the Sum Insured to all Policies of the Participating Class
from the time they were effected.
The. Bonus added to Policies from March, 1634, to December 31,
1840, is as follows :

only one-half need be paid for the first Five Years, where the Insur-
ance is for Life.

LOW RATES OF PREMIUM.
In addition to the subscribed Capital of £300,000, the Assured
have the security of the Company's incoa e of nearly £'o,ooo per
annum, yearly in, rea•ing, and an accumulating Assurance Fund in-
vested in Government and other available securitie, of considerably
la ger amount than the e.timated liabilities r f the Company.
The rates of premium are reduced to Hy.. lowest scale compatible
with the security of the Assured, and the stability of the Company,
thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder an immediate and
certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently
delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits.

The drawing.room and library suites are of

displays considerab'e taste. The architectural skill cannot be tco
highly panegyrised—there is a bold commanding appearance—sueh
an imposing front as to leave others at a fearful distance. The
entree to this delightful habitation is by a Lodge of clever design,
and a circuitous route through the pleasure-grounds and planta-
tions, encountering the novel scene of
SEVERAL RURAL BRIDGES,
_

There are French curtains, conversatione sociablcc, sofas, lounging

THE THORNHILL PARK ESTATE WITHIN A SHORT
DRIVE FROM SOUTHAMPTON, WITH ITS COSTLY
MANSION, EXTENSIVE PLANTATIONS AND GAR-
DENS, AND A DOMAIN EXTENDING TO $5O ACRES,
including most valuable building Sites near Westend, and a
delightful spot at Midenburgh.
R. GEORGE ROBINS is favoured by the in-
structions of the Trustees of the late JAMES BARLOW
HOY, Esq., to offer to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auc-
tion Mart, on THURSDAY, the 13th of June next, at Twelve o'clock,
in Three Lots,
THE MOST ELIGIBLE ESTATE IN THE ENVIRONS OF
SOUTHAMPTON.
This distinguished abode, which has always held a high place in
public estimation, may now, by its close approximation to
THE CHOSEN SEAT OF ROYALTY,
claim to be one of the
MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES IN HER MAJESTY'S
DOMINIONS.
THE THORNHILL PARK ESTATE
was the favourite abode of
JAMES BARLOW HOY, ESQ.,
.who for a lengthened period was
THE M.P. FOR SOUTHAMPTON,
and it is a fact not to be impeached, that if the new purchaser
partakes of his hospitality and sound political creed,
"HE WILL WALK' OVER THE COURSE WHENEVER
THE NEiT ELECTION ARRIVES."
THE MANSION is the commanding feature of the property,
and may claim to be one of the great lions in this delightful
vicinity, for the late lamented Proprietor has, in its completion,
spared no expense to combine in unequivocal taste
LUXURY AND SPLENDOUR, WITH THE MOST PER-
FECT FAMILY CONVENIENCE.
Some idea of the size of the house may be afforded by the enu-
meration of the principal apartments, with which every portion of
the building is consistent. Drawing-room, 40 feet by 24 ; ante.
drawing-room, 30 feet by 29 billiard-room and vestibuleilibrary
and museum, and dining-room. The external architectural form is
very chaste ; the front adorned by six lofty pillars, with a paved
gallery leading to the terrace walk, extending to the shrubberies
and plantations, which are laid out in the best taste. The entree
is by a covered approach. Within the Mansion its advantages and
capability maybe summed up in one short sentence—
" NOTHING WHATEVER IS LEFT TO BE DESIRED."
To a Nobleman whose sphere of duties attaches him to the Court of
his Sovereign—to an East Indian seeking for an appropriate Resi
dence, in which to prolong his days in the enjoyment of his vast
acquisitions, with increasing health, yet with Oriental magnificence—
or to a member of "THE ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON," who
seeks to invite propinquity to the rendezvous, or the comforts of a
luxurious home, a residence is here offered combining advantages
not to be equalled in the neighbourhood.
THE DOMAIN EX TEND TO 550 ACRES,
including the Thornhill Farm, of 200 acres, one portion of which
is of especial value, as offering an undeniable source of increasing
revenue in the rapid formation of a small and select town, which is
already rising on the estate, in elegant and detached villa residences.
The short distance from Southampton, combined with the extreme
beauty and healthiness of situation, offer the greatest attractions to
a fashionable and opulent society. Portions of the estate have
been already let off on building leases, at rents producing Is. 6d.
and 2s. per foot frontage, while the most beautiful sites are still
unlet. About 45 acres of the most luxuriant fir and larch plan.
tations, and an equal quantity of valuable land, forming a small
farm, are still available for this important purpose; and the recent
erection of

THE DINING-ROOM OF MASSIVE
GOTHIC CARVED OAK,

with suite of splendid crimson figured velvet curtains, it includes
twelve capital chairs is marone leather, extending dining tables,
massive carved sideboard, with noble looking glass 98 inches by 57,
cellaret, and hot closet ;
A SPLENDID BUHL HALL CLOCK AND BRACKET;
Five bronze busts of the poets, stained hail lamp, a double per-
cussion gun; beautiful velvet Pile, Brussels, and Axminster Carpets.
THE BEDCHAMBERS ARE FITTED IN SUITES OF
BIAPLE-WOOD AND MAHOGANY,

across the fresh meandering stream, which pursues its irregular
course, and materially aids this magnificent spectacle. The back
front, which extends to 160 feet, is supported by
NOBLE CORINTHIAN COLUMNS.
THE GRAND SUITE OF CHAMBLRS
are in communication with the spacious paved Gallery. The effect
which is here produced is really quite electrical ; nothing in nature
or art can surpass it.
THE BARONESS DE FEUCHERES
has given manifest proof of extraordinary taste in the arrangement
throughout. On an emergency twenty.five beds have been made up.
The hand of an artiste of superior pretensions is visible every.
where; indeed, everything resolves itself into the unequivocal term
of perfection. There is a little demesne of
THHITY.SEVEN ACRES OF PARK-LIKE GROUND,
disposed in unequivocal taste, with flowering shrubs and expen-
sive plants to diversify the picture, and additional land may be
had if the possessor should require it. The kitchen.garden, with
lofty walls, is fully commensurate for all the legitimate wants of a
family. The Court-yard incloses an infinity of offices of the best
description; 'detached Laundry, &c. The situation is quite
beautiful. If HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN

that appertains to the bedchambers, capital kitchen requisites, and
the furniture of the domestic offices.

" TRIUMPHANTLY CARRIED THE PALM."

It is close to Christchurch, where the bathing is not surpassable.
Lots of hunting and shooting close at hand, and but three hours'
drive from Southampton, and six hours only from London. The
climate is very mild, longevity prevails everywhere, and an East
Indian, in moderate health, will add at least a twenty-one years
term to his lease of life. The Mansion is appropriately fur-
nished throughout, and may be taken at a fair valuation.
It may be added the Mansion and Offices have cost
"TWENTY THOUSAND POUNDS."

Proprietor to SELL by PUBLIC COMPETITION, at

CREMORNE HOUSE, CHELSEA,

ORNAMENTED GROUNDS,

warrai.ts the fearless assertion that a spirited individual, with
a moderate capital, and 'an observing and reflecting mind, must
soon realise a large fortune; if he possess but tact and can
beget novelty, he will leave no feeling:of lament that the purified
spirit of old 'Vauxhall has risen in a more fashionable region, -During

increasing importance.
THE ELEGANT MANSION
has always been an object of admiration the throngs gaily gliding
on Old Father Thames on steamers in rapid succession ; its conve-
niences are very perfect, inc:uding suites of chambers of noble pro-
portions, the five principal apartments on the ground floor commu-
nicating, and forming an extent of 100 feet, all beautifully deco-
rated ; the floors of fine oak, the doors of polished mahogany, and
the windows of plate glass ; numerous sleeping chambers, and ex-

cover voyages of every description and service in every part of the

The Lives of Fishermen and Boatmen also insured.
High rates of premium have hitherto operated against this kind of
Assurance, but as the scale now adopted will be found as low as is
consonant with the risk, it is believed that this fact, coupled with
other advantaaes, will induce a great increase of inmrers.

" The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, the in-
herent privileges of mankind, ate frequently marred and prevented
through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. To such,

questions:may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even
to the most confidential friend."—Stafford Gazette.

and we cordially recommend the author and his book to all who are
