UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY,
TEMPORARY OFFICES DURING THE ALTERATIONS,
No. 23, REGENT-STREET, WATERLOO-PLACE, LONDON.
Established by Act of Parliament in 1834.
DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG THE ASSURED.
This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most
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 72,0001.
In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Shareholders of
one-half of their Stock, and also added a Bonus of 21. per cent. per
annum, on the Sum Insured to all Policies of the Participating Class
from the time they wets effected.
The Bonus added to Policies from March, 1834, to. December 31,
1840, is as follows :
Sum Time Sam added Sum Time Sum added
Assured. Assured. to Policy. Assured. Assured. to Policy.
£5OOO 6 yrs. 10 mths. £683 6 8 £5OOO 4 years £4OO
5000 6 years 600 0 0 6000 2 years 200
The Premiums, nevertheless, are on the most moderate scale, and
only one-half need be paid for the first Five Years, where the Insur-
ance is for Life.
Every information will be afforded on application to the Resident
Directors, Edward Boyd, Esq., and E. Lennox Boyd, Esq., of No. 28,

LOW RATES OF PREMIUM.
In addition to the subscribed Capital of 300,000/., the Assured have
the security of the Company's income of nearly GO,OOO/. per annum,
yearly increasing, and an accumulating Assurance Fund invested In
Government and other available securities, of considerably larger
amount than the estimated liabilities of the Company.
The rates of premium are reduced to the 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 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 Holders,
and unanimously adopted.
The Public will see the advantage of selecting, in so important a
matter as Life Assurance, a well-established otlice, 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.

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE
ALBERT has of late taken great interest in the
breeding of the Llama, from which a very line wool is obtained. The
cloth made of this is of a peculiarly soft and agreeable texture, and
as some curiosity has been raised by the announcement of the registry
of a coat under the new Act, by Messrs. NICOLL, of Regent-street,
Tailors to the Court, it may be marked that such was made of this
material. The coat itself is termed the REGISTERED PALETOT,
and in its appearance there is nothing very singular beyond a very
gentlemanly . neatness and an absence of all unsightly vulgarity.
ITpon being submitted at Court, it met with high approbation."—
Morning Post, April 19. " Amongst the registration of designs,
according to the new Act, that of a coat is to be found. The notions
of securing the particular substance and cut of a coat is certainly a
new one, but it speaks well for the working of an Act which thus
secures the profits of a good judgment and well directed ingenuity to
those to whom alone it is due."—The Times, April 4. Registered

'NICOLL, COURT TAILORS, 114, Regent-street, London, for their
new introduction, the REGISTERED PALETOT, which is a summer
overcoat, light in weight, embracing the convenience and comfort of
the wrapper of tweed and its moderate price, without its inelegant and
universally admitted common appearance.
The material is of a peculiar softness, made expressly of the, finest
Llama wool, and in its fashion is neither trop neglige ni trophabille,
but whilst showing to advantage the proportions of the figure, it can-
not encumber free movement, worn riding or walking; it will also,
from the neatness of its form, admit its being used as a light Frock
Coat—a desirable advantage in our warmest summer month, or
abroad, where heat is found oppressive. H. J. and D. Nicoll, sensi-
tive to the importance of that vade mecum—a moderate light over-
coat—in a climate so changeable as that of Great Britain, would not
submit to the public the Registered Paletot till themsetves satisfied of
Its being perfect, and that when used as a pardessus, riding or walking,
or as summer frock, the above firm might pledge a reputation, which,
g fined by matured skill and honoured by royal patronage, is of some
standing. This they can do with safety; as their new introduction,
they respectfully submit, will not compromise that characteristic of
an English gentleman, the unassumed neatness of his attire. As a
wide extended sale is sought, the very moderate price of Two Guineas
Is fixed. Respectable firms will alone be treated with relative to an
agency for the sale of the Registered Paletot, to whom alone a discount
can be allowed. There being a large and increasing &mend, many
are kept ready in the extensive warerooms, 114, Regent-street.

To the PROPRIETORS of the BRITANNIA LIFE ASSURANCE
GENTLEMEN,—In calling your attention to the annexed Notice of

and the probable result of the proposed extension of the operations of
the unprecedented fact of upwards of 6,000

That the "Britannia" Company has enjoyed the decided and (I

It is in consequence of this last-mentioned transfer, which included

also in consequence of the nuinerous applications for Assurances on
this plan, which they have hitherto been compelled to decline, that

" The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, the in-
herent privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and prevented
through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. To such, among
others, this Essay addresses itself; and by its perusal many questions
may be satisfactorily adjusted that admit of no appeal even to the
most confidential friend."—Stafford Gazette.
"Long experience in the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto
neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the
medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove that there are
concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere
routine practitioner would never dream of finding them; traceable
to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and fatal
springs of domestic misery, and premature mortality."—Wakefield
