ADVANTAGES of the ARGUS LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY.
Low Rates of Premium.

In addition to the subscribed Capital of £300,000, the As-
sured have the security of the Company's income of upwards
of £50,000 per annum, yearly increasing, and an accumulating
At.surance 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, com-
patible with the security of the.fissured, 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 Directors hereby give notice, to Members whose Pre-
miums fall due on the sth of January next, that.the same must
be paid within thirty days from that date.
The Premiums are payable Yearly, Half-yearly, or Quarterly,
en the sth of January, sth of April, sth of July; and sth of
October, either of which several days constitutes the commence-
ment of the year to MEMBERS. Persons, therefore, desirous
of entering the Society, AS MEMBERS, on the sth of
April next, should appear at the Office on or before that day.
So various are the plans now before the public for effecting
Assurance on Life, it may, at first sight, 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 following
classification may be made :-
Ist. Proprietary Offices, where all the surplus from pre-
miums and other profits is divided exclusively amongst the
Share or Stockholders.

LIFE ASSURANCE
Princes-street, Bank.

2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions
between 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 adver-
tising rem ted to, yet its advantages have been so well appre.
eiated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed
37,5001.
In cOnsequence of the prosperous state of the Society's af-
fairs, the Annual Premiums of Members of Five years' standing
have been reduced Forty-two and a- Half per cent..
A plan of the Society, with tables of rates, may be obtained
on application at the Office.

UNIVERSAL LIFE• ASSURANCE
OFFICE, King .William-street.
The rates of this Office are as moderate as is consistent with
perfect security. Four-fifths of the prt-.fits are -divided amongst
the assured, and may be applied either in reduction of the an-
nnal premium, or in addition tc the amount originally assured.
It is itnportint that persons at present about to assure in this
Office should complete their Policies before the second Wednes-
day in May, as they will be entitled to participation in profits
twelve months earlier than those assuring subsequent to that date.,

UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE
OFFICE, 1, King William-street, London.
't he 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 of 60 per Cent. was declared on the
current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti-
cipation. Tha second division of profits was in May, 1841,
when a similar reduction was again. declared.
The following table will show the operation of the reduction
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 ludia risks, at very ad-
vantageous rates, calculated from extensive data and tables, ex-
clusively in the possession of this Suciety,to show the true risk
of life durng residence in India, and after retirement hum

- Messrs' S. and B. SOLOMONS, Opticians and Aurists, during
a professional experience of thirty yews, have had ample oppor-
tunities of verifying that the Organs of Sight and Hearing
are sympathetically ratted to each other in such a peculiar
manner, that when the former becomes imperfect the sense
of hearing becomes rapidly dull —this fact is admitted by sci.
entific authorities, and must be observable by many thou.
ants of itidivi..nals thus circumstanced—which is deserving the
public's most serious attention. The Messrs. Solomon., with a view
to remedy such an affection, and after they have devoted their whole
lives to this interesting branch of slence,liave succeeded in one; ing
for itoperfect visi n a most scientific improvement in a 'fransparency
for Spectacles, and a pre, entive an•l cure for Deafness; they have in-
vented an Operative Voice Conductor, upon a very small construction,
no'. perceptible; it requires no holding, and the individual imme-
diately becomes one of the party in the general conversation.
By these important discoveries not only is defective vision
brought to nature, but the sense of hearing is restored to its
original acut. ness ; those Lenses are se constructed and
adapted to weak and imperfect eyesight, upon such scientific prin-
ciples, combined with the long extensive experience of the Messrs.
Solomons, that they will be found to effect s ch an extent
archer, whice will far exceed Omit utmost and most sanguine ex-
pectations. On placing those Lenses before imperfeci. vision, either
by Lary or candlelight, every object becomes clear and distinct, and
the most minute particle seen with exact distinctness. The Messrs.
Solomons have in their possession, without one exception Spectacles
and Far Instruments of every kind which are offered to the priblie
by other individuals, to point out the superiority of their improve-
ments over all others. The patronage of !Nobility and Gentry, and
recommendations of the prit.cipal Oculist Physicians and Surgeons
in Lyndon, and through Great Britain as well as on the Continent,
would be too numerous for insertion.
The Messrs. Solomons are anxious that the public should pot
confound them with persons of the same name, it being admitted.by
professional gentlemen of the highest character, and may beobserved
by any individual, that 'heir newly.invented Spectacles and Opera-
tive Voice C.miluctors for Deafness, surpass anything of the kind
yet put before the public. They request attention tr, the first part
