The DIRECTORS hereby give notice to Members whose Pre-
miums fall due on the sth of January next, that the same must be
paid within thirty days from that date.
The premiums are payable yearly, half-yearly, or quarterly, on the
sth of January, sth of April, St h of July, and sth of October, either
of which several days constitutes the commencement of the year to
Members. Persons, therefore, desirous of entering the Society, as
Members, on the sth of January next, should appear, or lodge their
proposals at the Office, on or before tha day.
So various are the plans now befoce the public for effecting As-
surance on Lite, that it may seem difficult to make choice between
them. As, however, all prudent offices snake a considerably higher
charge in the annual premium than experience has hitherto shown
to be necessary, but differ in the mode of disposing of the surplus or
profit, the following classification may be made:-
Ist. Proprietary Offices, where all the surplus from premiums and
other profits is divided, exclusively, amongst the Share or Stock.
holders.

METROPOLITAN
sou
No. 3, Princes.

2d. Offices where the came is divided in various proportions be.
tween Share and Stockholders and the Assured.
Ocl. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whol of the
profit is equitably distr►buted amongst the Assured only.
The METROPOLITAN, which is of the last class, was established
in 1835, and although no paid agents for town or country have at any
time been employed, nor any expensive system of advertising re-
sorted to, yet its advantages have been so well appreciated by the
public, that the annual prem►ums already exceed .£49,000.
In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's affairs, the
Annual Premiums of Members of Five Years' standing have been
reduced FO ftTY-TWO AND A HALF per Cent.
A plan of the Society, with tables of rates, may be obtained on
application at the office.

SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
and injurious Metals, called Nickel and German Silver, sup-
planted by her introduction ef a new and perfectly matchless
ALBATA PLATE.
C. WATSON, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton Tolgate, aided by
a person of Science in the amalgamation of Metals, has succeeded in
bringing to Public Notice the most beautiful Article ever yet oits eyed;
possessing all the richness of Silver in appearance, with all dura-
bility and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in U3C, undergoing, as
it does, a Chemical Process, by which, all that is nauseous in mixed
Metals is entirely extracted—resisting all Acids—may be cleaned as
silver, and is manufactared into every
Article for the Table awl

C. WATSON begs the Public will understand that this Metal is
peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from Gold
than his metal is from all others—on its iatriuslc merit alone he
wishes it to be tested, and from the daily increasing eulogiums he re-
ceives, ke is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming an
article of universal wear.
C. Watson's handsomely Illustrated Catalogue and Price Currant
is just published, and Families who regard economy and elegance
should possess themselves of this useful Book, which may be had
