LIFE DEPARTMENT.
J. T. CLEMENT, Esq., Actuary.
A sum far more than equal to the value of the Policies is in-
vested in the public securities, in the names of the Trustees, so
as to be at all times available.
At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to
the Life Pol,cies equal to twenty-five per cent. on the sums
paid, and a bonus of five per cent. was added to the Shares in
addition to the payment of the annual interest.
For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a ape"
cific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower
rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici-
pating scale, ONE-HALF THE PREMIUM MAY RE-
MAIN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT. FOR
FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his life for
1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for 5001. only.

The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of
IQOI., for the whole life, one-half of which may remain for
five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per
cent., and s,hould the policy become a claim in the interim the
amount due will then be deducted :

Age 20, without profits XI 13 0 with profits £1 18 0

For short periods the premiums are considerably lower, and
forany ages or contingencies not usually advertised, information
may be obtained on application to the Actuary or Secretary.

This Institution is empowered by a Special Act of Parlia-
ment, and is so constituted as to afford the benefits of Life As-
surance, in their fullest extent, t• Policy-holders, and to pre-
sent greater facilities and accommodation titan are usually of-
fered by other I aces. The decided superiority of its plan,
anti its claim to public preference anti support, have been proved
incontestably by its extraordinary and unprecedented success.
ASSURANCES MAY EITHER BE EFFECTED BY
PARTIES ON IBM', OWN LIVES, OR BY PARTIES
INTERESTED THEREIN ON THE LIVES OF
OTHERS.
The effect of an Assuraice on a person's own life is to
create at once a Property in Reversion, which can by no other
means he realised. Take, for instance, the case of a person at
the age of thirty, who, by the payment of 51. 3s. 4ti. to the
Britannia Life Assurance Company, can become at once pos-
sessed of a beipeathable property, amounting to 1,0001., sub-
jec only to the condition of his continuing the same payment
quarterly during the remainder of his life—a condition which
may be fulfilled by the mere saving of EIGHT SHILLINGS
weekly in his expendi'ure. Thus, by the exertion of a very
slight degree of economy—such, indeed, as can scarcely be felt
a' an inconvenience, he may at once realise a capital of 1,0001.,
which he can bequeath or dispose of in any way he may think
proper.

Detailed Prospectuses, and every requisite information as to
the mode of effecting Assurances, may be obtained at the Office.
