Risks reasonably rated.
LIFE ASSURANCES.
The additions made to the life policies granted by this Cor-
poration for the last seven years vary from 4 L 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 live yoars, 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 wi
culthars
-
out profit has been adopted. The rates and other parti
may be ascertained at the above offices, or at any of the Com-
pany's Branch Establishments throughout the kingdom.

those Colonies. And to all persons who wish to Assure their
Lives, the Company offers unusually favourable rates of pre-
mium, participation in profits, and the guarantee of an ample
subscribed capital.
Prospectuses and full particulars may be obtained at the

UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE
OFFICE, 1, King William-street, London.
The Rates of this Office, founded on the most aecurate 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. The second division of profits was in May, 1841,
when a similar reduction was again declared.

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

:ion of the reduction

Policy

issued.

The Catholics of England are at the present moment in a
state of union and organization, perfect far all defensive pur-
poses, and sufficient to secure the ultimate redress of all the
wrongs of which they still have to complain. The fact, how
ever, that two Catholic papers exist, opposed to one another in
interest, and by no means co-inciding in political sentiments, is
calculated to mislead those unacquainted with the Catholic
body, into la belief, untrue, but dangerous, that the Catholics
are no longer united, no longer capable of that combined action,
which it was one of the objects of the Catholic Institute to
ensure. It has, therefore, been the wibh of several of the
Catholic Bishops, and many of the Catholic nobility and gentry,
that the unseemly exhibition to which the rivalry of " The
Tablet" and " The True Tablet" has given rise, should cease ;
and in deference to that opinion the proprietor of the former
paper has been induced to discontinue it.
On the other hand, a wish has been expressed by the same
distinguished individuals, that a Journal should be established
wholly divested of politics, and devoted to Ecclesiastical Intel-
ligence, Literature, Science, and the Fine Arts. In com-
pliance with that wish, a new Journal will appear on Saturday,
July 30th, to be called " The Catholic ; an Ecclesiastical and
Literary Journal for the Catholics of the British Empire."
The scheme of " The Catholic" includes such Parliamentary
intelligence as may affect the interests of the Catholic Church,
and contemplates also leading articles on the religious topics of
the day, whether such be connected with the internal condi-
tion of the Church, or its external relations only. In the
Literary Department the object will be to make the reader ac-
quainted with the best works of the day, with the progress of
science, the labours of naturalists, the state of the fine arts, as
well in this country as abroad ; and especially to correct his-
torical errors which bear against the conduct or doctrines of
Catholics, and to refute the numberless calumnies disseminated
against Catholicity through the Press, in whatever shape, or
from whatever source they may come.
It is believed that a Journal of this nature, altogether free
from political discussion, save where the question in debate
affects the Catholic Church, cannot but commend itself to
Catholics generally, both at home and in the colonies. There
can be no difference of opinion among Catholics when the in-
terests of religion are concerned ; and when the interests of
religion are not concerned no political sentiments will be ex-
pressed.
The Catholic is the property of an Association of Catholic
Gentlemen, who propose raising funds for carrying it on by
means of shares, of which more than one-half have been ac-
tually subscribed for.
Those Gentlemen who may be desirous of supporting the
Catholic, by taking any of the remaining shares, can receive
the requisite information on applying, by letter pre-paid, to
Mr. C. Dolman, 61, New Bond-street.

" We, the undersigned Proprietors of East India Stock, re-
quest you will be pleased to call a Special General Court of

" lion, namely :
" That from the papers recently laid before the Court of Pro-
" prietors, relating to the case of the Raja of Sattara, taken in
" connexion with those previously before the Court, this Court
" is of opinion that the Raja of Sattara has been deposed, de-
1' prived of his private property, Jo'4 exiled, without having
" been heard in his defence, and that such proceedings are re-
pugnant to the principles of justice and subversive of the
British in'erests of India.
