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 from 41 to 65 per cent. on
the premiums paid, and average 14 per cent„ 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 Company are taken into consideration.
The next division of life profits will take place in December,
1846, being an interval of five years, and persons entering be-
fare 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 loan 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 throughout the kingdotn.

French police are said to have arrested ten or twelve
Spanish rebels, who had concealed themselves on the
French frontier.

_HE OIL_ Y AT GOTHA.—" Find the nobility
here very agreeable—great sportsmen and great feeders—
in short, good jolly fellows, not incumbered with learn-
ing, and, perhaps, arrogating a too great consequence
from their high descent—excusable, however, since
many of thetn as f. e. the Wangenheims, Brandanstcins,
Schlotheims, &c., can trace a pure descent of some six
hundred years' nobil. They •:e,y<r aniA with the
