No, 28, REGENT-STREET, WATERLOO-PLACE, LONDON.

DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG TIIE 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 ef the Participating Class
from the time they were effected.
The Bonus added to Policies from March, 1534, to December 31,
1840, is as follows :

£5OOO 6 yrs. 10 mths. £683 681 £5OOO 4 years £4OO
5000 6 years 600 0 0 5000 2 years 200

only one halfneed be paid for the first Five Years, where the Inn-
. ranee is for Life.

The DIRECTORS hereby give notice to Members whose Premiums
fall due on the sth of July 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, sth 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, us
Members, on the sth of July next, should appear, or lodge their pro-
posals, at the Office, on or before that day.
So various are the plans now before the public for the Assurance of
Life, that it may seem difficult to make choice between them. As,
however, all prudent offices make 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 fol-
lowing classification may be made :

Ist. Proprietary Offices, whe:e all the surplus from premiums and
other profits is divided, exclusively, amongst the Share or Stockholders.
2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions be-
tween Share and Stockholders and the Assured.

3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole of the
profit is equitably distributed 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
resorted to, yet its advantages have been so well appreciated by the
public, that the annual premiums already exceed 56,0001.
In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's affairs, the
Annual Premiums of Members of Five Years' standing have been re-
duced Forty-two and a-Half per cent.

A plan of the Society, with. Tables of Rates, may be obtained, on
application, at the Office.

THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their Deed
of Constitution not to dispute any policy unless they can prove that
it was obtained by fraud, and for this purpose the Company have, by
a clause in their Deed of Constitution, unhesitatingly deprived them-
selves of the power of objecting to any policy unless they undertake to
prove that it was obtained from them by fraudulent misrepresentation.
TMIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who give to the assured on the
mutual principle the whole of the mutual accumulations, and also
guarantee the sums assured.
THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay
the full amount of the policies, although the debts for which they
were effected shall have been liquidated before the claim arise.
THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant in favour
of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured al-
though the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe.
BY THE HALF PREMIUM PLAN ONLY one-half of the llsrt
seven years' premium is required, the other half being payable at the
convenience of the assured, thus allowing a policy to be continued
for seven years, at one-half of the usual rate, or to be dropped a
one-half of the usual sacrifice.
Prospectuses and schedules are forwarded free of expense.

SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
and injurious Metals, called Nickel and German Silver, sup-
planted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless
ALBATA PLATE.
C. WATSON, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, NortsaFolgate, aided by
a person of Science in the amalgamation of Metals, has succeeded in
bringing to Public Notice the most beautiful Article ever yet offered ;
possessing all the richness of Silver in appearance, with all its dura-
bility and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in use, 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 manufactured into every Article for the Table and
Sideboard:—

Fiddle. Threaded. Kin g's .
Table Spoons and Forks, 16s. 6d. doz. 30s. 355.
Desert Ditto
Tea Spoons ...... • • • •
Sugar Tongs
C. WATSON begs the Public will understand that this Metal is
peculiarly his own, and that Silver is net more different from Gold
than kis metal is from all others—on its intrinsic merit alone he
wishes it to be tested, and from the daily increasing enlegiums he re-
ceives, he is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming as
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 usefhl Book, which may be had
Gratis, and Post Free, from the above Address.

PATENT PARAGON CAMPIIINE LAMPS.
The perfection of these Lamps over the Vesta has been
happily attained by the invention of two parallel flat rings—a larger
and a smaller farming a cone round the margin of the wick, which
cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thus condensing
every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke or smell,
having perfect combustion, and in ftlll action, emits a light equal to
16 wax candles.
C. Watson's Warehouses, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton
Folgate, will contain, throughout the season, all the most elegant
echerche and new patterns, comprising Or-molu, China, Glass, and
Opal.

Old Oil Lamps fitted with the Paragon Head for 21s. And the
Paragon Apparatus applied to the Vesta for 6s. The Spirit analysed
and recommended by Dr. Ure, is delivered in screw cans by C.
Watson's carts, at 4a. per gallon.
