FIRE INSURANCES effected at the usual Reduced Rates,
and Policies may be transferred to this Office without extra
charge, and on terms very favourable to the Assured. Special
Risks reasonably rated.
LIFE ASSURANCES.
The additions made to the life policies granted by this Cor-
poration for the last seven years vary trom 41 to 65 per cent. on
the premiums paid, and average 14 per eert„ or two per cent.
per annum on the sums assured—a result, it is believed, more
favourable than any other Company (mutual or proprietary )
has hitherto accomplished, when the low rates of premium
charged by this Onripany are taken into consideration.
The neat division of life profits will take place in December,
1846, being an interval of five years, and persons entering be-
fore the Ist of August next will enjoy one year's additional
rating, and rank at next division of profits for five complete
years.
To facilitate lean transactions a reduced scale of rates with-
out profit has been adopted. The rates and other particulars
may be ascertained at the above offices, or at any of the Com-
pany's Branch Establishments through Sro the kingdom.

UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE
OFFICE, I, King William-street, London.
The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob-
servations of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is
consistent with perfect security.
One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding
years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ;
three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The
remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of
the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen
contingencies.
The first division of profits took place on the 13th of May,
1840, when a reduction o' GO per Cent. was declared on the
current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti-
cipation. The second division of profits was in May, 1841,
when a similar reduction was again declared.

The following table will show the operal
made by the Society :

This system of reduction in the premiums affords immediate
benefit. to the Assured, or enables them to secure a considerable
bonus by effecting a new policy.
Policies are granted in London, and by resident Committees
at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, on India risks, at very ad-
vantageous rates, calculated from extensive data and tables, ex-
clusively in the possession of this Society, to show the true risk
of life dur'ng residence in India, and after retirement from
foreign service. By order of the Board,
