LIFE DEPARTMENT.

The additions made to iii;l;-Oli;ie;gr;t:tcd by this Corpo-
ration f..r the last *even years vary from 41 to 65 per cent. on
thzpremituns paid, and average 14 per cent on the sums as-
sured—a result, it is believed, far more favourable to the as-
sured than any other Company has hitherto accomplished, when
the low rates of premitms charged by this Corporation are
taken into consideration.

The next division of life profits will take place in December,
1846, being an interval of fire )cars, and persons entering be •
fore the Ist of August .next will enjoy one year's additinnal
rating, and rank at next division of profits for five complete
years.

Forms of proposals may be had at the Offices, 449,1 West
